Matt's agency selling Walking Out


A variety article on Walking Out (no Variety review yet) mentions Matt's agent CAA is handling sales for the film. I suppose for many independent films there is no meaningful production company to do that.
While the concept of agencies packaging a film with its talent (actors, director, writers) I don't know if an agency selling a film is the norm.
CAA is run by family friend Bryan Lourd and a Huvane brother, the other Huvane brother being Simon's business partner.

Thanks for the info. Does this mean no one bought it at sundance?

There is a link for a Variety review on another thread.

This link is all i see where CAA is mentioned at the end. I am so not up on this stuff, I didn't recognize that was Matt's agency till reading it here.

I don't know enough about any of this to come to a conclusion till all the fact are said and done...

I don't know about film sales either, that's why I posted the information here, hoping someone else might.
I presume it's a positive Matt's agency is selling the film but as I don't know if that's commonplace or not....

I suppose just no sales announcements as yet. Towards the end of the week? Maybe dependent on reviews?

I guess it is a hurry up and wait ordeal.
One thing I thought of while trying to find the long-ish Walking Out trailer yesterday was there was a Salt Company involved that listed itself in part as being 'financing.' But that seems to just be for the actual production (?)

Just keep hoping for the best in the meantime is my go to plan :o)

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to these things but could it be that there are many bidders & the movie will sell to the highest bidder when Sundance is over? Hope that's the case. With the amazing reviews the movie has been getting I don't see how it won't sell. I would buy it in a heartbeat if I had the money haha.
