1-2 Special Buys North American Rights to Cannes Winner Everytime

Negotiated by sales agent Charades, the move highlights 1-2 Special’s rapid push to build a festival-driven arthouse slate.

Overview

  • The New York indie distributor 1-2 Special acquired all North American rights to Sandra Wollner’s Everytime, a deal reported Friday by multiple trade outlets.
  • Everytime won the top prize in Cannes’s Un Certain Regard competition, giving the film strong festival momentum before its sale.
  • The film is Wollner’s third feature and stars Birgit Minichmayr with cinematography by Gregory Oke, credits that helped attract buyer interest.
  • Charades handled international sales and negotiated the North American deal but no U.S. release date or platform plans have been announced.
  • The acquisition underscores how festival awards can speed sales for emerging arthouse films and expands 1-2 Special’s festival-focused roster after its 2025 launch.
