Why U.S. Indie Distributor Utopia Is Dipping Its Toes Into U.K. Waters With ‘The Sweet East’

Alex Ritman Since its inception in 2018, North American distributer and sales outfit Utopia has been quietly building up its credentials as a both a company with a distinctive cinematic palette and one able to identify indie projects ahead of the buzz. Its darkly comic 2020 breakout hit “Shiva Baby,” the directorial feature debut of Emma Seligman, gave an early indication of Utopia’s tastes, which soon led it to pick up Dasha Nekrasova’s wild and erotically-charged Jeffrey Epstein-themed horror “The Scary of Sixty-First” and Lena Dunham’s shoestring sex comedy “Sharp Stick.” In Cannes 2022 it made a splash by acquiring domestic rights to Ali Abbasi’s gritty Iranian crime thriller and Palme d’Or nominee “Holy Spider,” for which Zar Amir won the best actress award, and last year bought LGBT revenge thriller “Femme,” one of the hottest films going into the 2023 Berlinale.

Ariel Marx and Este Haim on How the Music of ‘A Small Light’ Brought Fresh Shadings to Heroic Holocaust Drama
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Musical tag-teaming doesn’t have results much more fruitful than what came about when the showrunners of “A Small Light” picked Ariel Marx to compose the score for the limited series and Este Haim to serve as executive music producer. Neither Haim nor Marx was in a position to take anything about the job lightly, given that the eight-episode series for National Geographic and Disney+ tells the story of a Dutch woman, Miep Gies, who helped hide Anne Frank and her family from the Nazis. Yet, in their very separate roles, both found ways to bring musical light or even levity into a drama that inevitably skews toward tension. Este Haim took on the EMP job for the first time with “A Small Light” after previously scoring or co-composing “Maid” and “Cha Cha Smooth” — on top of her day job as one-third of the rocking sister trio Haim. For “A Small Light,” she produced episode-ending covers of songs from the first half of the 20th century, performed by Angel Olsen, Moses Sumney, Kamasi Washington, Sharon Van Etten with Michael Imperioli, Remi Wolf, Weyes Blood, duet partners Orville Peck and King Princess, and her sister Danielle.
