Greenwich Entertainment Acquires Eytan Fox's SUBLET

Greenwich Entertainment announced today the acquisition of North American distribution rights to
Sublet directed by Eytan Fox (Walk on Water, Yossi & Jagger, The Bubble). The Israeli drama premiered to enthusiastic reviews at the Tribeca Film Festival and Greenwich will release the film next year.

Starring Tony Award-winning and Emmy-nominated John Benjamin Hickey and featuring the debut of Niv Nissim, Sublet focuses on a New York Times writer (Hickey) who visits Tel Aviv after suffering a tragedy. The city's energy and his relationship with a younger man he meets there (Nissim) bring him back to life.
 
“I'm so happy that Greenwich Entertainment will be releasing Sublet, because it's a movie that celebrates the freedom we had before this COVID-19 outbreak: to travel, explore, make connections and get a new take on the world,” says Fox. “It's about two men who meet by chance when one is traveling, who are from different generations and have had very different lives, but have so much to share with each other. And while people can't visit Tel Aviv right now, I'm excited that they will see this city that I love and that has shaped me, and which has created a vibrant culture of diversity and creativity on the Mediterranean,” he adds.

Sublet was written by Fox and Itay Segal and produced by Gal Uchovsky, Micky Rabinovitz, Moshe Edery and Leon Edery. The deal was negotiated by Greenwich’s Ed Arentz and UTA Independent Film Group on behalf of the filmmakers.
