Two Sundance titles have snagged international sales rights deals: Cinemavault will be repping Derick Martini’s late 70s coming-of-age tale Lymelife and Wild Bunch will be handling R.J. Cutler's doc on Vogue editrix Anna Wintour, The September Issue. Both films are unveiled at Sundance tonight, but the Issue bow in Salt Lake City means many buyers won’t see it until tomorrow afternoon closer to their condos. CAA is repping domestic sales.

William Morris Independent snagged Lymelife a US distribution deal with Screen Media Films about a month after its Toronto world premiere, where it won the International Critics Prize for Discovery. The film boasts an impressive cast: Alec Baldwin, Kieran Culkin, Rory Culkin, Jill Hennessy, Timothy Hutton, Cynthia Nixon and Emma Roberts. Behind the scenes, Martin Scorsese lent his name as an executive producer, the latest of many collaborations with longtime producing partner Barbara De Fina.

While both deals ideally help the films reach wider audiences, they don’t put them in theaters, just in the hands of agents who sell them to foreign distributors. An old Scottish colleague of mine loved to shout “Let ‘em buy an ad!” when receiving news of such announcements, but for such worthy projects we’ll be happy to pass along sales news for your tracking pleasure.
