EXCLUSIVE: Bulldog Film Distribution has picked up the feature Signs of Life for a theatrical release in the UK and Ireland.
Moviehouse Entertainment has also joined the film to handle international sales ahead of the upcoming American Film Market.
The film stars Sarah-Jane Potts (Kinky Boots, Wonderland) as a silent protagonist, and actor David Ganly (Gladiator 2, Moon Knight) is her highly vocal foil. The film was predominantly shot using exteriors in southern Europe.
The story centers around Potts’ character who attempts to shift her life by fleeing abroad but, on arrival at her destination, meets with danger. A chance encounter with another solo traveler offers her an unexpected solution and a chain of surprising events unfolds between the two strangers which will either make or break them.
The score is by Oscar-winning composer Anne Dudley who also serves as Producer with Millson and Roger Dudley.
“I wanted to make my first feature completely independently, without the strictures so often affecting the filmmaking world, and in doing so, believe audiences will thoroughly enjoy what the cast, crew, and supporters have delivered,” Millson said of the film.
“I’m delighted Bulldog Film Distribution has come on board and will release the film in the UK & Ireland in 2025 and Moviehouse Entertainment similarly handling international sales.”
