The Ferryman features an international cast, including John Rhys Davies (The Lord Of The Rings trilogy) and Kerry Fox (An Angel At My Table), and was made with joint funding from both the New Zealand and British film industries.
Distribution rights have been secured in North America, Germany, New Zealand and Australia, and a United Kingdom deal is under negotiation.
The film will be released in the US at the Seattle Film Festival in May, and in NZ later this year.
