High Point Films, the film sales division of Carey Fitzgerald’s London based High Point Media Group, has acquired international sales rights to David Rocksavage’s “Shadows in the Sun” and has sold Hanro Smitsman’s “Skin” to Ascot Elite, Germany. “Shadows” stars the Oscar nominated Jean Simmons, as well as James Wilby and Jamie Dornan. The film follows the story of a man who visits his mother on the Norfolk coast and finds himself concerned with her relationship with a mysterious young man. “Skin,” based on true events, is Smitsman’s first feature, having previously won the Golden Bear at the Berlinale for his short, “Klaas.” “Skin” details the Nazi skinhead movement and focuses on Frankie, a teenage son of Jewish Holocaust survivor who slowly gets roped in. High Point also picked up world sales for “Summer Heat,” a Dutch romantic thriller about a magazine photographer who falls in love with a mysterious woman connected to gangsters. Fitzgerald said in a statement, “‘Shadows in the Sun’ is a moving, beautifully realized and ultimately redemptive film about family, memory, forgiveness and love.” Regarding “Skin” and “Summer Heat,” he said the film represented “some of the most exciting talent, both established and fresh, coming out of Holland today.”
