The Film Sales Company has picked up worldwide sales rights to Filthy Gorgeous: The Bob Guccione Story, Barry Avrich’s documentary that premiered on Monday night (September 9).

The documentary explores the life and legacy of Bob Guccione, the founder of Penthouse.

Avrich uses previously unseen archival footage, artifacts, drawings, photographs, sketches and interviews as well as contemporary commentary by those who knew Guccione best.

The Film Sales Company president Andrew Herwitz negotiated the deal with producers and Jerrick Ventures co-owners Rick Schwartz and Jeremy Frommer.
