Gravitas Picks Up Dakota Gorman’s Directorial Debut ‘All About Sex’; ‘Whose Child’ Rounds Out Cast; Greenwich Acquires ‘Super Frenchie’ Docu – Film Briefs

Gravitas Ventures has acquired North American rights All About Sex, the first directorial feature for up-and-comer Dakota Gorman, who wrote the comedy, which is loosely based on her own experiences battling depression and the general anxieties that accompany aging youth. Gorman also stars alongside Natalee Linez, Emma Deckers, Dillon Lane, Matt Angel and Chris Costanzo.

The generational film follows the lives of three mid-20’s friends — Sage (Gorman), Casey (Linez), and Morgan (Deckers)– caught in the grip of quarter-life crises as they meander through the messy, embarrassing and confusing pitfalls that come with “adulting”.

Anna Schafer stars as a public relations worker at a children’s hospital whose life gets turned around when she is assigned to a young boy named Billy, who is in a coma and is barely hanging on to life. When she realizes that the incident was a domestic abuse case, she takes matters into her own hands to overturn a system that would have otherwise failed him. Shih, Autumn Federici, and Jake Helgren produced under their The Ninth House banner. Simpson is repped by Stewart Talent; Kapila by Greene & Associates Talent Agency; Walter by Bresler-Kelly & Associates.

McDonough negotiated the acquisition deal with Greenwich’s Ed Arentz and Andy Bohn.
