Electus International to Rep Documentary A Murder in the Park

LOS ANGELES: Electus International has picked up the global distribution rights for the documentary A Murder in the Park and had already clinched deals for the film in Benelux and Australia.

Electus International signed deals with Foxtel in Australia and an undisclosed broadcaster in Benelux; more are expected to follow. The film was acquired for the U.S. by Sundance Selects and IFC, and was released theatrically by IFC last year. Additionally, A Murder in the Park will air in the U.S. on a premium cable broadcaster in March, and will be available on Netflix afterward (U.S. only).

“A Murder in the Park is an incredible documentary that carefully explores one of the most scandalous and riveting true-crime cases in recent memory,” said Darah Wagner, the director of acquisitions at Electus International. “The true-crime genre is exploding in popularity in recent years, and we’re excited to bring what Time Magazine called one of the 15 most fascinating true-crime stories ever told to audiences around the world.”
