Raye and Sawyer Spielberg’s Holiday Film ‘Merry Good Enough’ Secures UK Release
EXCLUSIVE: The pulpy holiday flick Merry Good Enough, starring Raye and Sawyer Spielberg, will be released in the UK on November 11 by Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment.
Kaleidoscope Film Distribution (KFD), the company’s distribution arm, has also secured international sales rights for the film. In the U.S., a limited theatrical run is planned for this winter.
Described as “gritty,” the holiday film is directed by Caroline Keene and Dan Kennedy. The story follows a dysfunctional family navigating the holiday season together after their mother disappears on Christmas Eve.
Raye Spielberg stars as Lucy Raulie alongside Joel Murray (Mad Men), who portrays the family’s charismatic but difficult patriarch. The ensemble cast includes Sawyer Spielberg (Masters of the Air) as Lucy’s low-key neighbor Sam, along with Susan Gallagher (Cobra Kai), Neil Casey (Ghostbusters), Comfort Clinton (FBI), and Sophie von Haselberg (Give Me Pity).
Co-directed by Keene and Kennedy from a script by Keene, Merry Good Enough is produced by Vagrants Originals. The producers are Jamieson Shea, Krista Minto, Genevieve Skehan, Shawn Gauvain, and Christian Hall.
“We’re delighted to bring Merry Good Enough to international audiences and are confident that our partners will recognize the originality and quality on show,” said Spencer Pollard, CEO of Kaleidoscope Film Distribution. “We look forward to introducing the film at TIFF.”
Keene and Kennedy added: “Led by Raye Spielberg’s indelible performance as the sharp but warm-hearted Lucy, we couldn’t be more excited to share our version of a holiday classic.”
