Following its premieres at the Sundance Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the event’s Teddy Award, Sebastian Silva’s dark comedy “Nasty Baby” has been acquired for North American distribution by The Orchard. The company’s latest buy came on the heels of their recent Sundance buying spree, during which The Orchard picked up rights to Patrick Brice’s “The Overnight,” Joe Swanberg’s “Digging for Fire” and Matthew Heineman’s documentary “Cartel Land.”
The film marks Silva’s third English-language feature following “Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus” and “Magic Magic.” He’s also known for the Chilean films “The Maid” and “Old Cats.” “Nasty Baby” stars Silva as one half of gay couple trying to have a baby in Brooklyn with their best friend (Wiig). Their plans are disrupted by growing harassment from a menacing neighborhood local known as “The Bishop” (Reg E. Cathey).
In a glowing review out of Sundance, Indiewire wrote: “‘Nasty Baby’ manages to challenge notions of violence, morality, innocence, parenthood and responsible child-rearing with a keen disregard for audience expectations. By shattering genre conventions, Silva subverts traditional perspectives on modern adulthood and finds no easy answers in the process.”
The Orchard will release the film later this year.
