LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) The Linda Ronstadt documentary “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound Of My Voice,” which premiered at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival , has been purchased for distribution.
The movie will have a theatrical release in September, according to Variety. Greenwich Entertainment (formerly The Orchard) and 1091 have reportedly co-acquired the North American distribution rights.
CNN Films has acquired broadcast television rights for North America.
The film recently won the Documentary Audience Award at the Provincetown International Film Festival.
“‘Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice‘ is a no-frills documentary that tells the enthralling story of one of the most powerful women in the history of pop music, and the movie is a testament to how different empowerment once looked, yet how potent it still was.” Variety’s Owen Gleiberman wrote in his Trebeca review.
“Linda Ronstadt is a rock icon who has wowed audiences across the world for decades and is a staunch human rights advocate,” said Danielle DiGiacomo, SVP of Acquisitions and Strategic Partnerships for 1091, and Ed Arentz, Co-Managing Director of Greenwich Entertainment. “We’re excited to partner with Rob, Jeffrey, James, Michele and CNN to bring this powerful documentary to audiences across the country.”
“Rob and Jeffrey have crafted an inspirational exploration of a singularly exceptional talent and humanitarian,” said Amy Entelis, executive vice president for talent and content development for CNN Worldwide and Courtney Sexton, vice president for CNN Films, both executive producers.
