IFC
Films just sent around a press release announcing their acquisition of Wordplay, Patrick Creadon's doc on
crossword puzzle guru Will Shortz. It's IFC's second buy of the fest, after picking up Bent Hamer's Factotum,
and their Jonathan Sehring couldn't be more pleased. "This has been one of the
most rewarding Sundance experiences in the history of IFC,” Sehring said. “With our
acquiring Factotum at the start and announcing the launch of IFC’s First Take, we felt it couldn’t
get any better. Then Wordplay captured the hearts of the entire team, and we simply couldn’t live without
it." IFC hasn't released financial details on the deal, but they did say they plan to release the doc
sometime this year.
