Daniel Ribeiro’s latest film will have a worldwide audience…

The 42-year-old Brazilian film director’s romantic comedy Perfect Endings has sold to distributors in North America and several territories in Europe.

Perfect Endings follows João, played by Artur Volpi, an aspiring filmmaker, who is thrown into the dating world after breaking up with his boyfriend of 10 years. At a crossroads in both his personal and professional life, he ends up directing amateur erotic films, while finding his way through the confusion of modern romance. 

Dark Star Pictures and Uncork’d Entertainment have nabbed the rights for North America, where Perfect Endings will have its international premiere at Frameline on June 27.

Mike Repsch, president of Dark Star Pictures, commented: “We are incredibly excited to bring ‘Perfect Endings’ to North America. Daniel Ribeiro has once again crafted a heartfelt snapshot of modern romance and we know that the gay audience will enjoy this entertaining film.”

This marks a second recent collaboration between M-Appeal and Dark Star Pictures, which bought Marcelo Caetano‘s Cannes Critics’ Week title Baby, also represented by the agency.

Cinemien will distribute the film across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, Poland, Italy and Portugal.

Ribeiro previously won the Berlinale’s Teddy Award, given to the best film with a queer theme in the festival, with The Way He Looks.
