Mance Media picks up “Forev” Noel Wells romantic comedy

Mance Media has acquired domestic and international rights to the Noel Wells romantic comedy “Forev”, Variety said.

Mance Media will start presenting the title to buyers at the European Film Market in Berlin this week. Gravitas Ventures will handle North American VOD release on May 1 and Mance Media will release the DVD/Blu Ray on May 1.

Producers are Stephanie Dziczek and Meg Charlton. Molly Green and James Leffler directed from their own script, in which Wells’ character and her naive neighbor (played by Matt Mider) take a joke about marriage and become engaged — and stranded in the desert.

Wells joined the cast of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” at the start of this season. “Forev” had its world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival in June and won audience awards at the Portland and Tallgrass film festivals.
