- MMM secured worldwide sales rights to Anshul Chauhan’s queer erotic drama “Tiger,” while Hong Kong, South Korea, and Japan remain excluded because the film has already been sold there.
- Free Stone Productions originally obtained the sales rights and partnered with MMM after “Tiger” won the Busan Vision Winner award at the Busan International Film Festival.
- “Tiger” follows Taiga, a 35‑year‑old massage parlor employee who also auditions for gay porn under the pseudonym Tiger, and portrays his emotional journey after learning his father is critically ill.
- Anshul Chauhan directs the film, which is based on true stories and marks a new chapter in his career.
- MMM says the film highlights universal needs for love, belonging, and acceptance, positioning it as a poignant and authentic exploration of queer experiences in Tokyo.
Why it matters: MMM secures worldwide sales rights, giving the distributor a new revenue stream and the director a broader audience, while audiences worldwide gain access to a queer drama that was previously limited to select territories.
