Momentum has acquired UK rights from Sobini Films to the thriller Burning Bright, starring Briana Evigan as a girl trapped in a house with her autistic brother and a ravenous tiger during a hurricane.
Sobini's vice president of international, Todd Olsson is showing footage here and has also sold rights to Spain (Aurum), Portugal (Lusomundo), Poland (Vision), Turkey (Media Vision), Greece (Seven Films) and the Middle East (Gulf Films). A German deal is expected imminently and Lionsgate holds US rights.
The EFM slate includes Damian Harris' drama Gardens Of The Night, which premiered at the festival last year and stars Gillian Jacobs as a teenager who struggles to hold on to her innocence after she was abducted and brainwashed as a child.
