Sony Pictures Classic Will Distribute Damsels in Distress

Looks like a distributor has been found for Oscar-nominated Whit Stillman's latest film, Violet Wister's Damsels in Distress. Sony Pictures Classics have announced that they would distribute the comedy worldwide. The film stars Greta Gerwig (Arthur) Adam Brody (Scream 4) and Analeigh Tipton (Crazy Stupid Love). Violet Wister's Damsels in Distress is a comedy that follows a trio of beautiful girls who set out to revolutionize life at a grungy East Coast university – the dynamic leader Violet Wister (Gerwig), principled Rose (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and sexy Heather (Carrie MacLemore). They welcome transfer student Lily (Tipton) into their group which seeks to help severely depressed students with a program of good scent and musical dance numbers. The girls become romantically entangled with a series of men --including slick Charlie (Brody), dreamboat Xavier (Hugo Becker) and the mad frat pack of Frank (Ryan Metcalf) and Thor (Billy Magnussen)—who threaten the girls’ friendship and sanity.

“We’ve long admired Whit’s films and ‘Violet Wister’s Damsels in Distress’ marries his unique sensibility with the kind of acerbic comedy audiences love. That Martin and Liz are producing the film alongside Whit makes this the perfect partnership for Sony Pictures Classics,” states Sony Pictures Classics.

The film was privately financed and entirely filmed in New York State. Physical production was supervised by Co-Producer Charlie Dibe and Line Producer Jacob Jaffke. Stillman’s previous credits include Metropolitan, which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay, as well as Castle Rock’s The Last Days of Disco and Barcelona.
