TLA Releasing has acquired worldwide rights (Theatrical, Non-theatrical, TV, Home Video (incl. DVD), EST, DTO, PPV, VOD, DTR, Streaming, all other internet and digital rights, New Media, Ancillary) for director/writer Terracino’s comedy-drama Elliot Loves.  

Elliot Loves follows the adventures of Dominican-American Elliot Ayende at two stages of his life: as a nine year-old who is best friend to his single, barely-keeping-it-together mom, and as a 21 year-old looking for love in New York City.  

Kelly Burkhardt, VP Operations TLA Releasing, brokered the deal and commented: "We are extremely excited to be bringing this entertainingly sexy yet incredibly endearing film to audiences worldwide!

"Elliot Loves has been a labor of love for director Terracino and because of his tenacity and diligence, he is the type of filmmaker we love to work with."   Director and writer Terracino added: "After we debuted at Miami and won the Audience Award, I was surprised by all the distribution offers we received.

"However, TLA Releasing was so passionate and enthusiastic about Elliot Loves, and incredibly eager to bring the film to gay and Latino audiences.

"I knew TLA Releasing was our true home. We shot Elliot Loves like the scrappy Latinos we are, with no money and by the skin of our teeth, and now TLA Releasing is ready to bring us out into the world."
