Exclusive: Vertical Entertainment has acquired U.S. rights to Lorelei, the drama from writer-director Sabrina Doyle that bowed at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival. Jena Malone and Pablo Schreiber star in the pic, which is now being eyed for a day-and-date release this summer in theaters and VOD.
Visit Films is repping rights and is now presenting the film to buyers at the virtual European Film Market.
The pic is a working-class fable about Wayland (Schreiber), who returns to his blue-collar hometown after being in prison for 15 years for armed robbery. He inadvertently reconnects with his high school girlfriend Dolores (Malone), now a single mother struggling to support her three kids. Wayland eventually moves in with the chaotic family and becomes a reluctant yet much-needed father figure, and struggling to pay the bills he finds himself drawn back to his old ways as Dolores yearns for her pre-motherhood dream of living in Los Angeles.
