“Releasing a movie with a Latinx cast that explores the journey of invitro fertilization is not just a celebration of life, but a testament to the power of diverse storytelling. We look forward to bringing Good Egg to audiences this Fall,” said Vertical SVP of Acquisitions Tony Piantedosi.
Concourse Media CEO Matthew Shreder — who negotiated the deal on behalf of the filmmakers — added: “As the strikes press on, we’re glad to be able to support independent films during this time. Good Egg is an entertaining and heartfelt film, and we’re thrilled to have Vertical on board.”
