Alan Cumming documentary ‘My Old School’ lands at Magnolia Pictures

Magnolia Pictures has acquired North American rights to My Old School, the documentary starring Alan Cumming that premiered at Sundance earlier this year.

Jono McLeod directed the film, which unravels the true story of a mysterious new student at a secondary school in an affluent part of Glasgow who may not be who his Scottish classmates and teachers believe.

Magnolia will release the film in theaters on July 22. Olivia Lichtenstein and John Archer served as producers.

My Old School is a Hopscotch Films production with co-funding from Creative Scotland. Executive producers are Mark Thomas, McLeod, John Archer and Clara Glynn.

Magnolia EVP Dori Begley and SVP of acquisitions John Von Thaden brokered the deal with Cleo Veger and Ana Vicente of Dogwoof on behalf of the filmmakers.
