Persimmon Acquires Distribution Rights for “Death on the Brandywine”
- Jun 15, 2026
Independent distribution company, Persimmon, has clinched distribution rights for the mystery film “Death on the Brandywine” in the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and India. Star cast members include Kate Burton, Rena Sofer, Tuc Watkins, Jay Huguley, Walt Willey, Shanley Caswell, and Guy Nardulli, with Satomi Hofmann as the film's amateur investigator, Professor Millie Park.
The narrative, written and directed by Nick Wilkinson and produced by Lisa G. Black and Nick Wilkinson, revolves around a popular senator's mysterious death at his son’s high-profile campaign fundraiser. His daughter is firm on proving it wasn’t a suicide and seeks to reveal the truth.
Reflecting his admiration for Agatha Christie's work, Wilkinson aimed to merge intrigue with emotional nuance, suspense with dark humor, offering a satirical glimpse at the clash of image, ambition, and power in contemporary America.
The movie will make its New York debut on June 24 with a limited theatrical release, followed by a digital roll-out on Apple, Amazon, and Fandango. The agreement was negotiated by Elisabeth Costa de Beauregard Segel of Storyboard Media on behalf of the film's makers, with Mackenzie Maguire representing Persimmon.
