Los Angeles, CA (May 15, 2014) Broad Green Pictures (BGP) announced today it has acquired US distribution and international sales rights from Visit Films for Carlos Marques-Marcet's award-winning feature debut, 10.000 KM.  The film premiered to wide critical acclaim and overwhelmingly positive audience reaction in both the United States and its home in Spain.   BGP has re-engaged Visit to present the title to international distributors in Cannes at the Marché du film.  

10.000KM follows the story of two young lovers, Natalia Tena (Game of Thrones, Harry Potter) and David Verdaguer, as she leaves Barcelona for a yearlong work opportunity in Los Angeles. The persevering and heart-breaking love story tracks the two as they cling to their relationship, which is colored by video chats, phone calls and email. The film, a Lastor Media Production, in Co-Production with La Panda, was shot in Barcelona.

"This revealing story touches on an incredible, shared human experience, and we are honored to bring Carlos' feature debut to audiences everywhere," said BGP CEO Gabriel Hammond, "Every member of our team was blown away when they saw it, and we are excited to be working with such a talented group of filmmakers."

Speaking on behalf of Lastor Media and La Panda Productions, Executive Producer Tono Folguera said, "BGP is the ideal distributor for 10.000 KM. They bring endless energy and fresh ideas as team with an extensive background in this arena. Their strong commitment to the film will help place 10.000 KM on the map."
