FilmRise Picks Up Lilly’s Light: The Movie

FilmRise has acquired the worldwide distribution rights for the children’s musical adventure Lilly’s Light: The Movie.

Lilly’s Light: The Movie features original songs and includes contributions by Oscar-nominated and Emmy-, Grammy- and Tony Award-winning singer/songwriter Kenny Loggins and Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee Steve Dorff. The film stars Sherry Hursey (Home Improvement, Bring It On) and co-stars Mindy Sterling (Austin Powers, iCarly), Philece Sampler (Stanley) and Fred Willard (Best In Show, Mascots).

FilmRise is teaming up with Gathr at Home for a virtual theatrical release, kicking off with a live, at-home screening premiere event to coincide with UN International Children’s Day celebrations. The virtual premiere includes a live post-screening event with performances and appearances by the cast and crew, Loggins and Dorff, as well as a Q&A with children’s programming consultant Dr. Gordon L. Berry.

Danny Fisher, CEO of FilmRise, commented, “Lilly’s Light: The Movie is a great representation of FilmRise’s move into the children’s space. We are confident that this film will speak to parents and children looking for a unique program that promotes open minds and a world of possibilities.”
