Summary

North American distribution rights to the film "Sparks" have been acquired by Strand Releasing, with a theatrical release planned for spring 2027. The movie, written and directed by Fergus Campbell, features Elsie Fisher and Charlie B. Foster in lead roles.
The narrative follows a group of teenage friends who become fixated on an urban legend. They believe a reservoir in Nevada functions as a time portal, leading them to devise a scheme to travel through time.
The plot gains urgency when Cleo, portrayed by Fisher, arrives and becomes determined to travel to 1960s Paris. Her goal is to meet Jean-Luc Godard and become his muse.
"Sparks" made its world premiere at SXSW in March. It has since been featured at festivals including Provincetown, Frameline, and Outfest, with more festival appearances scheduled for the fall.
Director Fergus Campbell expressed gratitude for Strand Releasing's commitment to new voices. "Sparks," which explores youth, restlessness, and potential, is expected to resonate with audiences by stirring emotions and memories.
