EXCLUSIVE: North of Two has acquired distribution rights Kate Bosworth and Michael Polishs feature Nona which has been making the festival rounds. The film, which puts a face to Central Americas sex trafficking industry, was produced under the couples Make Pictures Productions. It will be released theatrically this fall.
Nona tells the story of a girl from Honduras who meets a charming boy, Hecho who promises to get her safely to America to reunite with her mother. Instead, Nona faces a perilous journey when he doesnt deliver on that promise. Nona — short for No Name — will deliver a message to change the way the world is dealing with sex trafficking.
“All of our “North of Two” filmmakers define the spirit, determination and grit that living North of Two means,” said CEO Mark Cartier. “Both Kate and Michael have created something beautiful with NONA that goes beyond the typical film experience. It embodies everything “North of Two” is about and we are excited about this new partnership.”

“Michael and I are devoted to Nona, and we feel the subject matter is more crucial than ever. After reviewing numerous offers, it became clear that there was no better choice than North of Two. Their experience, passion, and renegade spirit mirrors how we made the movie. We have met our match,” said Bosworth.
