Myriad Pictures has closed another raft of territory deals on SXSW audience and grand jury award winner Bob Trevino Likes It, licensing rights in the UK, Australia, and Spain as sales talks continue in Toronto.

The comedy drama starring Barbie Ferreira and John Leguizamo has gone to Vertigo in the UK, Rialto in Australia and New Zealand, and A Contracorriente Films in Spain.

Bob Trevino Likes It centres on a young woman who searches for her estranged father online and bonds with a grieving, childless man with the same name.

Tracie Laymon wrote and directed the feature inspired by her own story, and the cast includes French Stewart, Lauren “Lolo” Spencer, and Rachel Bay Jones.

Roadside Attractions acquired US rights and plans an early 2025 theatrical release.
