Multiple outlets confirm that Saban Films has acquired the US right to Casey Affleck’s Light of My Life.
The feature marked Affleck’s directorial debut. The Oscar winner also penned the script and will star in the film. The film also stars Anna Pniowsky and Elisabeth Moss.
”This has been a passion-driven project for the filmmakers, who have crafted a beautiful and sophisticated film, grounded with superb performances,” said Saban Films’ Bill Bromiley in a statement. We couldn’t be more honored to be part of such a dedicated team. Our audiences will fall in love with the intensity and sincerity of this character-based survival drama, focusing on a strong father-daughter bond.”
Light of My Life follows a father (Affleck) and child (Pniowsky) who journey through the outskirts of society a decade after a pandemic has wiped out half the world’s population. As a father struggles to protect his child at all costs, their bond, and the character of humanity, is tested.
Light of My Life made its world premiere at this year’s Berlin Film Festival.
