Indiewire has reported that Strand Releasing has acquired North American distribution rights to LGBT film festival favorite, That's Not Us.
The film follows the ups and downs of a group of friends (three couples: one straight, one gay, and one lesbian) as they relax for a weekend in a beach house at the end of summer. It garnered wildly positive reviews when it played at Outfest Los Angeles, Frameline San Francisco, InsideOut (Toronto's LGBT Film Festival), and various other LGBT film festivals. It's still too early to tell how many theaters the film will play in, but Strand Releasing is going to push for an early Spring 2016 release date.
Strand Releasing has distributed an array of acclaimed LGBT-centric films in the past, including last year's The Way He Looks, Stranger by the Lake, Girlhood, and Lilting. They have continually made it possible for LGBT stories to be seen by mass audiences, and That's Not Us is sure to be another gem in their queer film collection.
