Gravitas Ventures has picked up the U.S. and Canadian rights for Delaney Buffett’s upcoming film “Adult Best Friends.”
“Adult Best Friends,” which premiered at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival, tells the story of a woman who goes on a weekend trip with her co-dependent best friend, where she intends to break the news that she is getting married. The two friends find their paths diverging in their 30s and the trip takes some unexpected turns, including a chance encounter with a classmate and a bachelor party.
Buffett co-wrote “Adult Best Friends” with her real-life best friend Katie Corwin. The two also star in the film alongside Zachary Quinto (“Brilliant Minds”), Mason Gooding (“Scream”) and Cazzie David (“The Umbrella Academy”).
“Gravitas is thrilled to be releasing Delaney Buffett’s ‘Adult Best Friends’ to North American audiences,” stated Bill Guentzler, Senior VP of Acquisitions and Operations at Gravitas Ventures. “Premiering at Tribeca 2024, this heartfelt and hilarious comedy expertly portrays the dynamic of growing apart in a friendship. The chemistry between Buffett and Corwin is the real selling point of this film.”
Quinto also executive produces alongside Evan Arnold, Adam McCurdy and Corwin. Marie Nikolova and Buffett produce for Coffin Watson and Before The Door Pictures.
