Visit Films has acquired worldwide sales rights (excluding Canada) to RT Thorne's feature film "40 Acres," a dystopian survival thriller screening at Toronto's Special Presentations.

“RT is an exciting director who has proven himself in other formats,” said Visit president Ryan Kampe. “Audiences will appreciate his commercial approach to making films about social issues. [The film] embodies what we are trying to do at Visit by combining the two areas.”
Filmed on location in Northern Ontario, “40 Acres” follows soldier-turned-farmer Hailey Freeman (Danielle Deadwyler, who also stars in Toronto’s “The Piano Lesson”) and her family as they defend their remote farm from a militia.
Michael Greyeyes (“Rutherford Falls”) stars as Freeman’s partner, with Toronto’s Kataem O’Connor as the eldest son who decides to pursue a different path after meeting a young woman (Milcania Diaz-Rojas) on the other side of the fence.
