Chase Infiniti's "Julia Collection" was acquired by Sony Pictures Classics for the US and international territories
Nicky Byrne's debut feature about a young math genius, also starring Jason Isaacs and Gillian Anderson, bowed at the Toronto Film Festival.
Sony Pictures Classics has picked up Julia, the feature film debut of Nikki Byrne starring Chase Infinity as a college math genius, for the US and various international territories.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the deal comes after Chase Infinity's One Battle After Another came-of-age drama bowed out at the Toronto Film Festival, starring Jason Isaacs and Gillian Anderson. "Seeing the enthusiastic response at TIFF confirms what promises to be a huge theatrical success and also shows that the much-acclaimed performance of Infiniti Chase in one battle after another was no fluke," the exclusive distributor said in a statement on Friday.

This judgment was shared by Hollywood Reporter film critic David Rooney in his review at TIFF: "The still waters and fascinating depths conveyed by Chase Infinity in Julia's set are proof positive that the magnetic exploration of 'one battle after another' has the goods to carry a film."
Paul Thomas Anderson's one battle after another marked the first Infinity movie, and the Julia series was his next. Infiniti will next star in the mystery horror film Portrait of God from up-and-coming director Dylan Clark, who wrote the script with Joe Russo.
Sony Pictures Classics presents the Julia series in the competitive world of mathematics and universities in the United States, Benelux, Switzerland, Italy, Scandinavia, Spain, England, Eastern Europe (except Poland), Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Israel and Asia (except Singapore).
Byrne hailed Sony Pictures Classics' theatrical release of his film in a statement: "Growing up, I didn't realize people made movies. I thought they were owned by the gods, that they fell from the sky, and if we were lucky, we got them. For 35 years, my entire life, Michael Barker and the Classics team at Sonyard, Tom Pictures, Tom Pictures, made sure their audiences were made at Sonyard Classics. "I couldn't be more proud to add Julia's collection to their extraordinary library and to know that films will be seen the way they are meant to be seen: in a dark theater, together."
The Julia series, written and directed by Byrne, focuses on Infinity as Julia Fisher, a young mathematical genius.
A synopsis from the producers adds: "She's also very practiced at hiding it. When she's recruited into an elite prep course that culminates in the most punishing math test, while at the same time embarking on a romantic relationship with her charismatic teaching assistant, Pascal (Christopher Briney), Julia follows a path that must find power. The weight of her father Alexander's suffocating expectations (Jason Isaacs), Pascal's mother, Anne (Gillian Anderson), who helps Julia recognize and capture a theme. A moment of opportunity that helps define her future."
Julia's collection was produced by Midsummer's Jeffrey Penman, Gotham Group's Ellen Goldsmith Wayne, and Maze Runner's Lee Stollman. Anderson, Nick Sharma, Tyler Haynes, Andrey Epifanov and Eleonora Granata Jenkinson are also producing the film.
