Kino Lorber Takes U.S. Rights To ‘Mom & Dad’s Nipple Factory’; Tumblr Founder David Karp Among Producers
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Visit Films has sold doc Mom & Dad’s Nipple Factory to Kino Lorber for the United States. The film tells the story of the Johnson family and focuses on Randi, Justin’s mother, after she is diagnosed with breast cancer and her husband Brian, a conservative Midwest family man, who embarks on a journey to boost her morale, which blossoms into an unexpected homespun prosthetic nipple business, which is kept under the radar from their friends, church and five unsuspecting children.
The film is directed by Justin Johnson (aka Justinsuperstar), whose credits include Double Digits: The Story of a Neighborhood Movie Star and Behind The FX, which won a Daytime Emmy.
Kino Lorber is releasing on April 2, 2024. The sale was negotiated by Visit’s President Ryan Kampe with Kino Lorber’s Senior Vice President, Wendy Lidell.
The movie, which won the Best Feature Audience Award at Milwaukee Film Festival, is produced by Noah Lang of Witchcraft Motion Picture Company, Jason Cohen (Facing Fear, Silicon Cowboys), Tumblr founder David Karp, entrepreneur Jonathan Wegener, BMP Creative president Anthony Deptula and videoblogger Steve Garfield.
