THINKFilm has acquired all US rights to Then She Found Me, Helen Hunt's directorial debut starring Hunt, Bette Midler, Colin Firth and Matthew Broderick. TVA Films acquires all Canadian rights. The deal was completed in an overnight negotiation with several players involved following the film's World Premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.
Then She Found Me was directed by Helen Hunt. The screenplay was adapted by Hunt, Vic Levin and Alice Arlen from a novel by Elinor Lipman. It tells the funny and moving story of April Epner (Hunt) and her very unlikely path towards personal fulfillment.
A Killer Films production, the film was produced by Pamela Koffler, Katie Roumel, Christine Vachon, and Connie Tavel and Helen Hunt. The deal marks the first acquisition by THINKFilm of a Killer film. The title falls outside of the first-look deal but underscores the strong relationship between the two companies.
Notes Koffler: "Of course we love THINKFilm, but their swift action and real connection to and vision for the film is what sealed the deal."
Urman adds: "We are thrilled to be working with Killer and Helen on this thoroughly delightful film and look forward to bringing it to the widest possible audience."
