K5 taking Dirty Weekend to AFM

K5 International has boarded Neil LaBute’s latest feature, Dirty Weekend, starring Matthew Broderick and Alice Eve.

The London-based sales division of K5 will kick off sales at the American Film Market (AFM) next week. 

The film was written by LaBute, who is currently shooting the feature in New Mexico.

The story follows a businessman, played by Broderick, who finds himself delayed in a city where a year earlier a few too many drinks led to an unexpected encounter, the half-remembered details of which have haunted him since.  Accompanied by his co-worker, played by Eve, he sets out to figure out what really happened that night.  

Duncan Montgomery (Bernie) and Tiller Russell are producing through their production company Horsethief Pictures.  The film is also produced by Joey Stewart and shot by Rogier Stoffers.     

K5 co-founders Oliver Simon and DanielBaur said: “Neil is that rare writer/director with an ability to entertain and amuse while revealing the parts of ourselves we’d prefer to sweep under the rug.”

K5, which also has a sales office in Los Angeles, will also be bringing spoof comedy Superfast, documentaries Cutie and the Boxer and Dancing in Jaffa, and Andrew Dosunmu’s Sundance title Mother of George to AFM.
