New York -- Screen Media Films has picked up Sarah Jessica Parker's racially charged drama "Spinning Like Butter" for North American distribution.
Parker produced and stars in director Mark Brokaw's adaptation of the Rebecca Gilman play. She portrays a liberal New England college dean forced to confront hidden prejudices and political correctness when one of her few black students (Paul James) receives anonymous racist letters. Mykelti Williamson, Beau Bridges and Miranda Richardson also star.
"Butter" ran into financial problems during its late-2005 shoot, leaving cast and crew members temporarily unpaid. Screen Media president Robert Baruc said producers and the film's Icm sales reps helped resolve the issues before he and his executive vp David Fannon sealed the high-six-figure deal.
Baruc will launch the "Butter" with a first-quarter 2009 theatrical release in New York, Los Angeles and five other U.S. cities, then decide on a platform strategy.
