Sony Pictures Classics has acquired U.S. and select international distribution rights to The Julia Set, a student drama starring Chase Infiniti and directed by Niki Byrne.
The film attracted attention at the Toronto International Film Festival, marking Infiniti’s next feature role following her involvement in the multi-Oscar-winning One Battle After Another. The Julia Set currently holds a 70% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Infiniti stars as Julia Fischer, a gifted mathematics student selected for an elite preparatory program that leads to one of the most challenging examinations in the field. As she navigates the intense academic environment, Julia develops feelings for Pascal (Christopher Briney), a charismatic teaching assistant struggling under the crushing expectations of his domineering father, Aleksander (Jason Isaacs). Pascal’s mother, Anne (Gillian Anderson), ultimately helps Julia recognize an opportunity that could shape the course of her future.
The film also features Nina Hoss, Carmen Ejogo, Chloe Bailey, Nico Hiraga, Liz Lin and Alex Dillard.
The Julia Set is produced by Potato Salad Cosmic Domination and Shaun Sanghani, in association with SSS Entertainment, G Nus Media, IF/THEN, Grapevine Films, Cinetrain SA, Melegrano Films, Hanway Films, Gotham Group, Good Future Films and Vacancy Film Fund.
