Shudder Acquires ‘A Bluebird In My Heart’ Out of SXSW

Published

on

AMC Networks’ genre streaming service Shudder has acquired U.S., Canada, and UK/Ireland rights to Jérémie Guez’s directorial debut A Bluebird in my Heart, which played last weekend at South by Southwest.

A Bluebird in My Heart is described as an intense thriller about an ex-con attempting to lead a reformed life, who finds refuge in a motel run by a single mother and her daughter, Clara. The peace and freedom he has found in this safe haven disappear when Clara is violently assaulted, forcing him to take action and face his old demons.

The film stars Roland Møller (Atomic Blonde), Veerle Baetens (The Ardennes), Lola Le Lann (One Wild Moment), and Lubna Azabal (Incendies).

“‘Bluebird’ is a tense, striking debut, and we cannot wait for the film to be seen by our passionate Shudder audience,” said Aurelie de Troyer, VP of global acquisitions and co-productions.

Shudder will release the film later this year.
