Row K Entertainment has picked up the U.S. rights to Charlie Harper, the romance movie starring CODA breakout Emilia Jones and Nick Robinson.
The indie, directed by Tom Dean and Mac Eldridge, had its world premiere at this year’s Toronto Film Festival. Row K, the theatrical distribution arm of Media Capital Technologies that launched in August 2025, earlier nabbed the North American rights to Gus Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire after a world premiere in Venice and a North American premiere at TIFF.
Charlie Harper centers on Charlie (Robinson) and Harper (Jones), two young adults who fall in love while navigating their early 20s and discover themselves both as individuals and as a couple. The film reunites Picture Perfect Federation’s Patrick Wachsberger with Temple Hill Entertainment after their partnership on the Twilight franchise.
Producers also include Wyck Godfrey, Isaac Klausner, Laura Quicksilver, Ashley Stern and Mallory Edens. Wesley R. Edens, Pascal Breton, Lionel Uzan, Marty Bowen and Ashley Farrell share executive producer credits.
“Tom and Mac have crafted a captivating feature with Charlie Harper, brought to life by powerful performances from Nick Robinson and Emilia Jones,” MCT principals and Row K co-chairman Christopher Woodrow and Raj Singh said in a statement on Monday.
Earlier this year, Charlie Harper was sold to a host of international markets after being first shopped in Cannes. “Row K’s commitment to distributing exceptional storytelling to wide audiences makes them the perfect home for this film,” producer Edens, founder of Little Ray Media, said in a statement.
The U.S. distribution deal was negotiated by UTA Independent Film Group, Picture Perfect Federation and Little Ray Media for the filmmakers, while Andrew Kramer of Willkie Farr & Gallagher represented Row K on the transaction.
