    EXCLUSIVE : Jeremy Piven drama The Performance , which played the Rome and Palm Springs Film Festival, is heading to the AFM after Alliance Media Partners (AMP) boarded international sales rights.

    GVN Releasing is launching the film domestically in December and January.

    The well-reviewed period drama, directed by Shira Piven and inspired by Arthur Miller’s short story, tells the story of Harold May, an American Jewish tap dancer in 1937 Berlin. May and the rest of his troupe are scouted by a German attaché who leads them to an exclusive performance for Hitler, putting May at a complex personal and professional cross-roads.

    Entourage actor Piven plays May. The film also features Robert Carlyle, Adam Garcia, Steven Berkoff, and the late Suzanne Shepherd.

    As we previously reported, the project reps a long-held passion for the Piven family, whose matriarch and director-teacher-actress Joyce Hiller Piven first read the story in the New Yorker and told her children about it.

    The Performance is a masterful adaptation that will resonate deeply with audiences worldwide. Its journey to awards acknowledgment is quickly gathering pace,” said Anthony Buckner, AMP’s Head of Sales, Acquisitions, and Distribution. “We’re thrilled to be working alongside GVN to bring this exceptional story to international markets.”

    Geno Taylor, Head of GVN Releasing, added: “This film not only showcases extraordinary performances and a poignant narrative, but also serves as a bridge connecting the past and present, reminding us of the timeless challenges and triumphs of the human spirit. We are proud to be working with AMP to present such a compelling piece that honors Arthur Miller’s legacy.”
