"End of Summer" made its debut in February this year and took home the Grand Prix at the 2024 "Lighthouse" festival for contemporary Russian cinema.
On the hunt for distribution partners for "End of Summer" on both national and international fronts is GroupStitch's founder, Nick Aizak, who's got some serious credentials under his belt, having worked for powerhouses like Amazon, MGM Studios, and Gravitas Ventures in the past.
