Laurence Anyways, the third film from Xavier Dolan (I Killed My Mother, Heartbeats), is welcoming two-time Oscar nominated director Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, Milk) as an Executive Producer alongside producers Lyse Lafontaine, Nathanaël Karmitz and Charles Gillibert.

“As an admirer of Xavier’s work, it’s my pleasure to join him for his first major US release, Laurence Anyways,” says Van Sant. “It’s a beautiful film that proves Xavier is one of the most promising young filmmakers working today.”

“Obviously, it’s a huge privilege to be considered by an artist like Gus,” Dolan said. “One of the first encounters I had with a more sophisticated cinema was ‘My Own Private Idaho.’ It was the first time I had a sense of what cinema could be or should be made of: Freedom, honesty and intimacy. For me to be endorsed by Gus Van Sant is like telling an 8-year old that Batman is his uncle.”
