First sales for The Mistress

LevelK is happy to announce the first sales on Stephen Lance's My Mistress.

The Australian erotic drama has been sold to the UK (House), Russia (Russian Report) and Hong Kong (Sundream Motion Pictures).

Sales were made on a promo in Cannes (the closed screening of the film Friday was cancelled due to technical problems with the DCP).

French actress Emmanuelle Béart (A Heart in Winter, Nathalie) plays a French S&M mistress opposite young Australian actor Harrison Gilbertson (Haunt, Beneath Hill 60 and Conspiracy 365). .

The story, developed by Lance and written by Gerard Lee — Jane Campion’s co-writer on Top Of The Lake — follows a beautiful and strangely innocent affair between a vulnerable teenage romantic and a French S&M mistress, which ultimately turns dangerous.

Transmission Films will release in Australia.
