PanARMENIAN.Net - Double Dutch Intl. has closed three key deals for Cynthia Nixon’s Emily Dickinson biopic “A Quiet Passion” prior to its North American premiere at the Toronto Intl. Film Festival, Variety reports.

The film has been sold to Paname Distribution for France, Mimosa Films for Japan and Soda Pictures for the United Kingdom, resulting in most of the world now sold.
