Vertical Entertainment has acquired North American rights to writer-director-actor Nate Parker's drama American Skin, which debuted at the Venice Film Festival in 2019, winning the Sconfini Best Director award.

Nate Parker (The Birth Of A Nation), Omari Hardwick (Kick-Ass), Theo Rossi (Luke Cage), Beau Knapp (Seven Seconds) star in the film which has been championed by Spike Lee who is an exec producer.

The film charts how after witnessing his 14 year-old son's murder by a white police officer who goes uncharged, Marine veteran Lincoln 'Linc' Jefferson takes matters into his own hands in a series of events he hopes will finally lead to justice for his son.

The film will be released next year in the U.S. on Martin Luther King Day and producers are aiming for awards season traction. Pete Jarowey and Josh Spector negotiated the deal for Vertical Entertainment with Mark Burg, Tarak Ben Ammar, and Emily Downs on behalf of the filmmakers.



Pic was independently financed by Burg and Ben Ammar's Eagle Pictures, which is handling world sales. Lukas Behnken also produces. Executive producer is Zak Tanjeloff. Co-producer is R.D. Delgado.
