Bleecker Street to release TEEN SPIRIT

ANNOUNCEMENT

Bleecker Street announced it has partnered with LD Entertainment for U.S. distribution rights to Max Minghella's directorial debut, for a 2019 release.

The film follows Violet (Elle Fanning), a shy teenager living in a small European town who dreams of pop stardom as an escape from her dismal surroundings and shattered family life. With the help of an unlikely mentor, Violet enters an international singing competition that will test her integrity, talent and ambition. Driven by a pop fueled soundtrack, Teen Spirit is a visceral and stylish spin on the Cinderella story.

Andrew Karpen, CEO of Bleecker Street, said, "We are excited to be working with Mickey and Pete from LD to bring this electric and inspiring story to audiences in Spring 2019. Max is an incredible talent and we know Elle's performance will thrill film and music fans alike.""
