As reported in today's indieWIRE report from SXSW, Seventh Art Releasing has acquired the world rights to Daniel Peddle's "The Aggressives", the story of a group of six New York City lesbians who live their lives as men and call themselves The Aggressives.

The company is also one of the buyers understood to be pursuing "Cowboy del Amor". Also, keep an eye on "Cavite", which John Pierson's producing class at UT is repping with their instructor. As mentioned in the piece, two comedy titles are big hits here, Liam Lynch's "Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic" and Michael Blieden's "The Comedians of Comedy".

As mentioned in today's article, insiders (and even Hollywood trade journalists) are anticipating the moment when SXSW becomes an even bigger event for film acquisitions. No doubt it has already achieved a greater stature, this year the fest has welcomed buyers from many of the indie and specialty companies, and from talking with the buyers they are seeing films that they are interested in.
