Dope Queens Hits Cannes Film Market
12 May
Summary
- World sales rights acquired for the film Dope Queens.
- Film follows three friends hustling on San Francisco streets.
- Dope Queens played at Palm Springs International Film Festival.
The Mise En Scene Company (MSC) has secured worldwide sales rights for the film "Dope Queens," directed by Grafton Doyle. This acquisition positions the film for international distribution as MSC prepares to introduce it to potential buyers at the Cannes Film Market. "Dope Queens" has already made an appearance at the Palm Springs International Film Festival earlier this year, garnering attention for its narrative.
The film's plot centers on the experiences of three friends as they navigate a night on the streets of the Tenderloin district in San Francisco, an experience reportedly based on true events. Produced by Julio Lopez Velasquez through Tomorrowland Productions, the film is being positioned for its strong visual identity and compelling romantic-thriller framework.
MSC CEO Paul Yates expressed enthusiasm, describing "Dope Queens" as "fearless filmmaking" with significant international crossover potential due to its contemporary themes and "flourescent visual identity." Grafton Doyle shared the excitement, highlighting MSC's creative and commercial understanding of the film. Negotiations for the sales rights were handled by John Reyes Doyle and Rory Macdonald.
