- Quest for Love is a Paris‑set drama starring Rooney Mara as the mother Maris, who also serves as executive producer.
- Rooney Mara will executive‑produce the film and portray the enigmatic, beautiful, violent mother Maris.
- Antonia Campbell‑Hughes writes and directs the film, following her SXSW‑debut “It is in Us All” and the recently‑wrapped “High End.”
- HanWay Films will launch international sales for the film at Cannes.
- WME Independent will handle North American sales.
Why it matters: Rooney Mara gains a starring and executive‑producer credit, and the Cannes sales push gives the film a path to distribution, advancing the Screen Ireland/Luxembourg fund’s aim to lift women‑led cinema; the plot’s ten‑year‑old son underscores its emotional hook.
