The international rights to writer and director Jack Plotnick's latest film 'Space Station 76,' which premiered March 8 at SXSW has been acquired by Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions

South by Southwest (SXSW) continues its film portion of the festival with a special screening of the movie Space Station 76 starring Patrick Wilson as Captain Glenn and is directed by Jack Plotnick. SPACE STATION 76 is a comedic drama about a group of people (and several robots) living on a space station in a 1970's-version of the future. When a new Assistant Captain arrives, she inadvertently ignites tensions among the crew, prompting them to confront their darkest secrets. Barely contained lust, jealousy, and anger all bubble to the surface, becoming just as dangerous as the asteroid that's heading right for them.

With South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas starting its film portion of the festival, there were many opportunities for filmmakers to premiere their latest movies. One such movie is called Space Station 76 and stars several well-known actors including Matt Bomer (Ted) and Marisa Coughlan (Misty).

"Fair is fair!" That is the rebel-rousing cry of sultry 18 year-old Billie Jean Davy and her band of teenage misfits; on the run from the law and in search of truth, justice and a kick-ass haircut! It's the summer of 1985, Corpus Christi, Texas. Local bully, rich-kid, Hubie Pyatt, has maliciously vandalized the brand new Honda Scooter belonging to dirt poor Binx Davey: a purchase made by the 16 year-old trailer park resident with insurance money left to him by his dead father.
