Bleecker Street has taken global distribution to the U.S. Dramatic Competition Sundance Film Festival comedy Save Yourselves! from writer-directors Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson. A summer theatrical release is being planned for the pic produced by Keshet Studios.

Pic follows Jack (John Reynolds) and Su (Sunita Mani), a hip Brooklyn couple who like many of their friends find themselves dependent on technology and unable to put down their phones. Fearing their mindless scrolling may impact their connection with each other, they seize the chance to head to an isolated cabin in the woods, vowing to unplug from the outside world for a week.

The deal was negotiated between Kent Sanderson and Avy Eschenasy of Bleecker Street with Endeavor Content, Film Constellation, FKKS’ Victoria Cook and Keshet Studios’ EVP Business Affairs Avital Onn Shachar on behalf of the filmmakers.
