Sony Pictures Classics acquires U.S. and key international territory rights to Niki Byrne’s debut film, “The Julia Set,” starring Emmy nominee Chase Infiniti. The decision follows the movie’s world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where it generated attention as a standout student drama.
“The Julia Set” stars Infiniti as a young math genius, and also includes Jason Isaacs and Gillian Anderson. Across outlets, the coverage emphasizes the film’s TIFF momentum and highlights Infiniti’s performance as a major factor in early buzz. Variety and Deadline both describe the project as an impressive next feature for Infiniti after prior acclaimed work, while Hollywood Reporter similarly frames the acquisition as a post-TIFF continuation of the film’s early reception. The reports do not add details on release plans or the precise number of territories beyond U.S. and key international markets.
