International sales agent Incredible Film announces a new distribution deal with UK based film distribution company, Tull Stories, for the acclaimed Dutch-English feature The North. Tull Stories will handle distribution of the film across the UK and Ireland.
Produced by Tuesday Studio while hiking almost 400 miles and directed by Bart Schrijver (Human Nature), The North takes place a decade after Chris (Bart Harder) and Lluis (Carles Pulido) became best friends, as they set out on a 600-kilometre hike through the Scottish Highlands. Following the West Highland way and The Cape Wrath Trail, they spend 30 days together in nature – hoping to rekindle their once-powerful friendship.
Set against the pace and demands of long-distance hiking, The North depicts the intricacies and challenges of both friendship and internal human struggles against the backdrop of the beautifully stark Highlands’ wilderness, delivering an unforgettable tale of friendship, endurance, and self-discovery.
Following its theatrical release in the Netherlands earlier this year, the film was given the Dutch Golden Award after reaching over 100,000 admissions, and secured a number 9 position in the overall national box office – making it the first independent film to reach this level in the current rankings. In addition to the sale to Tull Films in the UK and Ireland and Gusto in the Netherlands, The North has also been sold to distributor Lime Light Distribution for New Zealand and Australia and Lumière in Belgium.
Daniëlle Raaphorst, CEO of Incredible Film says “We are continuing to expand our slate of bold, distinctive stories that travel. From emotionally charged dramas to uplifting feelgood features and powerful stories like The North – we’re showcasing not just variety in genre, but a consistent standard of high-end filmmaking and a slate designed to resonate across cultures and connect with audiences everywhere.”
