Shincy Lu, Galibert, Phillipe Gompel and Cohen produced the pic, which also stars Hannah Alline (Doom Patrol) and Angela Nicholas (Deadwood).
Entertainment Squad’s founder and CEO Shaked Berenson told Deadline that “Cherry is extremely timely. In her very personal story, Sophie Galibert beautifully and authentically explores challenges that are faced by many American young women today.”
“After playing countless festivals around the world, we are thrilled to partner with Entertainment Squad to share a deep-human comedy about women’s rights and freedom to a broader audience,” added Galibert.
Past releases from Entertainment Squad include the mental-health dramedy Paper Spiders starring 3x Emmy nominee Lili Taylor, Peyton List and Max Casella. The deal for Cherry was negotiated between Berenson and Galibert.
