Cannes Hit 'Everytime' Lands North American Deal With 1-2 Special
Austrian director Sandra Wollner's haunting grief drama just scored a major North American distribution deal fresh off its Cannes Un Certain Regard win.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, 1-2 Special has snapped up North American rights to 'Everytime,' the latest boundary-pushing feature from Austrian writer-director Sandra Wollner. The film took home the Un Certain Regard prize at Cannes, putting it firmly on the awards radar.
The Hollywood Reporter describes the film as a hypnotic blend of reality and fiction following an unlikely trio bound together by grief. The three embark on a family holiday that never actually took place — and time itself starts to bend and blur along the way. It's the kind of premise that sounds deceptively simple but clearly packs an emotional gut-punch.
This marks Wollner's third feature, cementing her reputation as one of European cinema's most daring voices. With 1-2 Special now steering its North American rollout, 'Everytime' is poised to reach art-house audiences hungry for something genuinely original. Expect this one to make serious noise on the festival circuit stateside before a wider release.
