- Quiver Distribution acquired North American and U.K. rights to 'A Love Like This,' with the romantic drama set to premiere in theaters April 3 after filming in Malibu in 2023
- John Asher directed the film from a script by Jeffrey Ruggles, in which Chriqui and MacArthur play couple Leah and Paul navigating 'love, lust and lies' over a long weekend in Malibu
- The film was produced under a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement during the 2023 Hollywood strikes; MacArthur said the SAG low-budget waiver 'meant everything' and let their small crew 'keep creating and telling stories when so much of the industry was paused'
- Producers include Jordan Bogdonavage under Go West Pictures, Michael Manasseri via Flux Capacitor Studios, and Sergey Shtern from Hughes Productions, with Chriqui, MacArthur, Asher and Brett Gursky also producing
- Supporting cast features Joel Michaely, Jason Caceres, Ray Abruzzo and Joyce Bulifant, with Lisa Alfelt, Carl Radke and Sarah R. Santos serving as executive producers
- The deal was negotiated by Quiver's Larry Greenberg and TJ Smith, with Paul Davidson at 27th Hour representing the filmmakers
Why it matters: The acquisition gives Quiver a star-driven indie romance for its April theatrical slate, and Chriqui's quote positioning Quiver as a company that 'genuinely champions independent film' signals the distributor's continued appetite for relationship-driven titles. The SAG low-budget waiver context underscores how indie productions like this one kept moving during the 2023 strikes while most major studio work was paused.
