EXCLUSIVE: Montreal and Madrid-based international sales and distribution company Pink Parrot Media (PPM) has acquired worldwide rights for two new projects, Laniakea Pictures’ live-action teen action comedy Graduation Heist and the animated flick Ultraduck from Arcana Studio. 

PPM will present both titles at the upcoming European Film Market. 

Produced by Laniakea Pictures with Ekipa Holding and Watchout Studio co-producing, Graduation Heist is directed by Mikołaj Piszczan with a script from Łukasz Zdanowski. The project is co-financed by the Polish Film Institute. The producers are Anna Zychowicz and Mateusz Kowalczyk. Cezary Stolecki is the DOP. The film will be released theatrically in Poland on 28 February by Next Film.

Tania Pinto Da Cunha, Partner, Vice-President, and Head of International Sales and Acquisitions at Pink Parrot Media, described said the film is “brimming with authentic characters, comedic storylines, and a vibrant style, while also exploring the universal challenges teens face as they begin stepping into adulthood.”

Currently in production and set to be delivered in Q4 2025, Ultraduck is based on the source material of a graphic novel written by acclaimed Marvel artist Edgar Delgado that has been translated and published in over a dozen countries. The feature, which is being produced through Arcana Studio, is targeted at a co-viewing audience and kids aged 10-12 years old.

Tania Pinto Da Cunha said the project brings “strong in-built global awareness, nostalgia, and a fresh spin on superhero movies, so we’re sure it will delight both kids and adults alike.”

PPM’s slate for EFM also includes the recently completed Norbert, which was recently released in Spain by Buena Vista International, alongside two titles now in production, Unstable and The Bottanix.
