Oscilloscope Laboratories has announced the acquisition of U.S. rights to Sophia Takal’s second directorial feature, “Always Shine,” which recently screened at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Actress in a U.S. Narrative Feature Film.
According to the film’s official synopsis, two actress friends (“Halt and Catch Fire’s” Mackenzie Davis and Caitlin FitzGerald of “Masters of Sex”) leave Los Angeles for Big Sur, “embarking on a weekend getaway to reconnect. Once alone, however, the two women’s suppressed jealousies and deep-seated resentments bubble to the surface, causing them to lose grasp not just of the true nature of their relationship, but also on their own identities.”
Takal commented, “We are beyond thrilled to be joining the Oscilloscope family. Their movies embody everythingwe love about independent cinema and we are honored ‘Always Shine’ has found such a wonderful home!”
Oscilloscope will release the film in theaters later this year.
