Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan-Starrer ‘Josephine’ Wins Two Top Awards at Sundance

Beth de Araújo’s Josephine — a drama that centers on an 8-year-old girl who witnesses a rape in Golden Gate Park and the fallout that comes as her parents, played by Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan, struggle to find a path forward — won two awards during the Sundance Film Festival’s closing ceremony.

The film, which is among the hot acquisition titles at the festival, picked up a grand jury prize and an audience award, both in dramatic categories. Mason Reeves stars alongside Tatum, Chan, Philip Ettinger, Syra McCarthy and Eleanore Pienta. De Araújo directed from her own script. The film was produced by David Kaplan, Josh Peters, Marina Stabile, Mark H. Rapaport and Crystine Zhang.
