Michel Franco’s ‘Dreams,’ Starring Jessica Chastain, to Be Sold by The Match Factory (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comLeo Barraclough International Features Editor International rights to “Dreams,” the next film from Mexican filmmaker Michel Franco, whose “Memory” competed at Venice last year, will be sold by his regular partner The Match Factory. “I usually work with The Match Factory, and we have an ongoing collaboration,” he tells Variety at Karlovy Vary Film Festival. “So, yeah, I like to stick with people [I know].
Why change when things are working out? It’s a great company. And I have certain distributors in certain countries that keep buying my films.
And that’s, I think, how you build audiences.” He says that he is still editing the film, so it may not be ready for Venice. “I don’t think it would be ready.
