The Mise En Scene Firm (MSC) has acquired world gross sales rights to “Dope Queens,” from writer-director Grafton Doyle, and can introduce the title to consumers on the Cannes Film Market.
The movie is produced by Julio Lopez Velasquez – whose credit embrace “Buck Run” and “A Place in the Field” – by way of Tomorrowland Productions, alongside John Reyes Doyle, Grafton Doyle, and Atit Shah, in affiliation with Create Leisure.
“Dope Queens” performed on the Palm Springs Worldwide Movie Pageant earlier this 12 months. Primarily based on true occasions, the movie follows three associates who should hustle by way of the evening on the streets of Tenderloin, San Francisco.
MSC will open worldwide gross sales discussions at Cannes with distributors, streamers, and premium platform consumers. Negotiations had been dealt with by John Reyes Doyle by way of Equites Productions, with Rory Macdonald representing MSC.
MSC CEO Paul Yates stated: “‘Dope Queens’ is fearless filmmaking – raw, contemporary, visually arresting, and deeply human. Grafton Doyle has delivered a film with genuine cultural edge and significant international crossover potential. The film operates in a highly commercial elevated-genre space while retaining an authentic emotional core. We were immediately drawn to its fluorescent visual identity, propulsive energy, and sharp romantic-thriller framework. It’s exactly the kind of filmmaker-driven cinema MSC is committed to championing globally, and we are incredibly excited to be working with John, Grafton, and the entire team.”
Doyle stated: “We’re incredibly thrilled to be working with MSC and to be bringing ‘Dope Queens’ to Cannes. From the beginning, it felt like they understood the film creatively and commercially, and we’re excited for international audiences to discover it.”
The corporate beforehand introduced “Billy Knight,” “Forelock,” and “Desert Road” to Berlin’s European Movie Market earlier this 12 months.
