“We are very pleased to be working with Mongrel Media and UTA on this very special movie,” said Celluloid Dreams vice-president Charlotte Mickie. “At Celluloid Dreams we were struck by the freshness of Keith’s vision, the exuberance of the tone and the deep humanity of the script. Young people are experiencing a new fluidity in their intimate relationships, as are their parents. Giant Little Ones is about swimming through these uncharted waters with grace.”
Black added, “I couldn’t be more delighted to be working with the Celluloid Dreams team. Hengameh and Charlotte have such passion and excitement for the film, and Keith and I are thrilled to be moving forward together as we head into our TIFF world premiere.”
