Venice Winner 'Straight Circle' Lands US Rights

Joint Venture has secured the U.S. rights to Oscar Hudson's debut feature film, "Straight Circle." This absurdist anti-war satire, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, captivated audiences and critics alike. The film stars twins Elliott and Luke Tittensor, known for their roles in "House of the Dragon," as enemy soldiers on opposing sides of a conflict.

"Straight Circle" garnered significant acclaim at Venice Critics' Week, clinching both the grand prize and the award for most innovative feature. The movie delves into themes of identity and conflict, with soldiers descending into madness and questioning their allegiances on a remote desert outpost.

Director Oscar Hudson described the film as a "very silly story about very serious stuff," exploring national boundaries and personal identity. Joint Venture plans to release "Straight Circle" in U.S. theaters later this year, positioning it as a unique cinematic offering.
