Of the 90-plus films and episodic series premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in 2026, only about a dozen arrived at the festival with distribution in hand. Many will be looking for homes, but if this year is anything like last year, it may take some time for those sales to close. We’ll be tracking all of them as they come in.
“Union County”
Section**: U.S. DramaticDistributor: Oscilloscope LaboratoriesDirector: Adam MeeksDate Acquired: April 20Buzz: The (very) slow roll of Sundance sales trickled into April with Oscilloscope picking up writer-director Adam Meeks’ addiction drama “Union County” that stars two rising actors in Will Poulter and Noah Centineo. The arthouse distributor plans to release the film theatrically this summer or fall. More a recovery drama than an “addiction” drama, the film follows two brothers living in rural Ohio who are attending a court-sponsored rehabilitation program for people impacted by the opioid crisis. The film features non-actors participating in the real-life program alongside the strong performances by Poulter and Centineo. The film is the directorial debut for Meeks based on his 2020 short film of the same name.
