Ambitious 1-2 Special has scheduled an October 10 release for Urchin, Harris Dickinson’s feature directorial debut and prize-winning Cannes Un Certain Regard selection.
Frank Dillane leads the cast on the story of Mike, an addict and rugged sleeper in London trapped in a cycle of self-destruction who tries to turn his life around.
The cast on the Devisio Pictures and Somesuch production includes Megan Northam, Amr Waked, Shonagh Marie, and Karyna Khymchuk. Dickinson wrote the screenplay and Archie Pearch and Scott O’Donnell served as producers.
Following Urchin’s premiere on the Croisette, Dickinson won the Firpresci Prize, and Dillane won the Un Certain Regard best actor prize.
1-2 Special’s inaugural slate includes two other films from Cannes – Simón Mesa Soto’s Un Certain Regard jury prize-winner A Poet, and Christian Petzold’s Cannes Directors’ Fortnight entry Mirrors No. 3.
The company recently acquired North American rights to Radu Jude’s Locarno entry Dracula.
