TIFF 2010 Buyer’s Club: #15. Max Winkler’s Ceremony

Date:

#15. Ceremony

The Gist: Michael Angarano, Uma Thurman, Reece Thompson, Lee Pace and Jake Johnson star in the story of a young man (Angarano), who along with his unwilling best friend, looks to crash the wedding of an older woman (Thurman) with whom he’s infatuated with.

Max Winkler Uma Thurman Ceremony

Director: Max Winkler
Sales Agent: FilmNation Entertainment
Selling Point: Thurman might be more “miss” than “hit” as of late, but if the boyish crush a la The Graduate hits the right notes, this could be TIFF’s version of a Sundance hit. 
Suited For: Indie distributor looking to add to add a potentially strong item to 2011 slate.
