The film’s producer, A71 Entertainment, will also release the dark comedy-drama in Canada.

The Canadian indie also stars Emma Fleury, Anna Hopkins, Alon Nashman, Mike Wilmot, Henry Alessandroni, Gillian Bennett and Alain Chanoine.
The distribution deal was hammered out by Abhi Rastogi, Chad Maker, David Miller and Darren Portelli.
