Cranked Up, the newly launched genre label of Good Deed Entertainment, has bought U.S. distribution rights to Robert Ryan’s Cannabis documentary, “Breaking Habits,” from Film Constellation.
Good Deed announced the deal Monday at the Cannes Film Festival.
Written and directed by Ryan, the film follows Christine Meeusen, a corporate exec-turned-cannabis-farmer who found her calling in medicinal marijuana. Meeusen, betrayed by a bigamist husband after 17 years, fled penniless with her three young children and discovered the lucrative business of cannabis farming. While adopting the persona of a nun called Sister Kate, she created Sisters of the Valley, a group of nuns who are not affiliated with any traditional religious order, to organize a California business that makes and sells medicinal cannabis products.
Breaking Habits screened its first look trailer during the Efm in Berlin in February and screened privately for buyers at Cannes Film Market with the Sisters of the Valley in attendance.
