Comedy will be released theatrically and on VoD in August.

Orion Releasing has acquired US and Latin American distribution rights to SXSW 2014 Grand Jury winner Fort Tilden.

Written and directed Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers, the comedy stars Bridley Elliott and Clare McNulty as slacker Brooklynites who experience mishap after mishap on a journey to the beach.

The film will be released theatrically and on VoD in August.

Josh Braun from Submarine negotiated the deal with Orion on behalf of the film-makers.

Fort Tilden was produced by Mollye Asher and Geoff Mansfield and executive producers Ariana Ciri Bernstein and Zach Gerbarg.

Bliss and Rogers have since signed on to write for Netflix’s upcoming series Wet Hot American Summer.
