Leo Barraclough International Features Editor “Tinder Swindler” studio AGC Unwritten has sold U.S. rights to Monica Villamizar and Jordan Bryon’s feature documentary “Transition” to Gravitas Ventures. The film follows Australian filmmaker Jordan Bryon, a trans man, as he embeds with a Taliban unit as they retake control of Afghanistan.
AGC International will screen the film and launch international sales at the American Film Market next week. Gravitas will release the film in March 2024. “Transition” is produced by Villamizar and was financed by AGC Unwritten and Our Time Projects.
Academy Award-nominated documentary director Matthew Heineman (“Cartel Land”) is executive producing with Stuart Ford, Lourdes Diaz, Joel Zimmer, BJ Levin, Sebastian Hernandez, Juan Manuel Betancourt and Joedan Okun. The film’s primary subjects are Bryon, Afghan cinematographer Farzad Fetrat (“Teddy”) and Iranian-Canadian photojournalist Kiana Hayeri. “Transition” had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival to audience and critical acclaim and was an official selection at Sheffield DocFest, Sydney Film Festival and the Human Rights Film Festival in Berlin, where it won the audience award this past weekend.
It will be featured at the prestigious International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam and Watch Docs festival in the coming weeks. Gravitas said: “We are so thrilled to be partnering with AGC on Bryon and Villamizar’s hard-hitting documentary. The film offers an incredible look at one man’s personal journey in a larger-than-life tense political setting.” AGC Unwritten president Joel Zimmer stated: “We’re proud of this award-winning, powerful film and look forward to partnering with Gravitas to share it with a wider audience.”
