Sundance Selects nabs Alexandre Moors’ "Blue Caprice" sniper drama

PanARMENIAN.Net - Sundance Selects has acquired North American and Latin American rights to Alexandre Moors’ debut feature Blue Caprice, which made its world premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, The Hollywood Reporter said.

The film, with a screenplay by R.F.I. Porto, was produced by Isen Robbins, Aimee Schoof, Ron Simons, Stephen Tedeschi, Brian O’Carroll, Kim Jackson and Will Rowbotham.

The film, which will open the Film Society of Lincoln Center and MoMA’s 2013 New Directors/New Films Festival on March 20, stars Isaiah Washington, Tequan Richmond, Joey Lauren Adams, Tim Blake Nelson and Leo Fitzpatrick.

The story centers on an abandoned Jamaican boy (Richmond) lured to America by a dangerous father figure (Washington). Inspired by true events, Blue Caprice explores the 2002 Beltway sniper attacks from the point of view of the two killers, whose distorted father-son relationship facilitated their long and bloody journey across America.
