Maya Entertainment is taking a big step into the mainstream, with the Hispanic-oriented producer and distributor acquiring all U.S. rights to Alex Rivera’s Sundance award winner “Sleep Dealer.”
The Spanish-language “Dealer,” which won the dramatic screenwriting prize in January at the Park City, Utah, film festival, is a dystopian tale revolving around themes of immigration and digital culture, using sci-fi conventions to tell a political tale. The movie drew attention in Sundance for its ambition, though some buyers perceived it as a tricky commercial sell.”*
