And at Sundance 2025, the company premiered Amanda Kramer\u2019s <em>By Design<\/em>, starring Melanie Griffith\u00a0as narrator and Juliette Lewis as a woman who swaps bodies with a chair. <\/p>\n<p>\n\tBailey is currently in the British capital for SXSW London, where she is a producer on another genre-bending film, along with Ioanna Bolomyti, Elizabeth Woodward, Lauren Mann, Yannis Economides, Vladimir Anastasov, Angela Nestorovska, Zvonimir Munivrana, Maja Popovic Milojevic and Irina Malcea-Candea.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe movie is <em>The Boy With the Light-Blue Eyes<\/em>, the feature film debut of Greek writer-director\u00a0Thanasis Neofotistos, which world premiered as part of the\u00a0Screen Festival\u00a0of\u00a0SXSW London 2026\u00a0on Thursday evening. The cinematic allegory for exclusion and the desire for love and freedom,\u00a0which can also be viewed as a queer coming-of-age story, stars Giorgos Karydis as Petros, a boy forced by his strict grandmother, and the village mayor, to hide behind a mask because he has blue eyes. Why? Well, that eye color is a source of fear and superstition for the locals of the remote mountain village where they live.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tNeofotistos co-wrote the film with his husband Grigoris Skarakis, with cinematography by Djordje Arambasic and editing by Panagiotis Angelopoulos. Gersh is handling U.S. sales.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHow did Bailey end up joining the team behind a Greek indie film, her first international fiction feature as a producer, you ask? \u201cI was a judge of the Aspen Film Festival shorts, and Thanasis had this short film there that was my favorite of the festival,\u201d she tells <em>THR<\/em>. \u201cThis was years ago, but I remember really fighting for a special mention for this short film by this Greek guy, because I loved it. And he did get the special mention.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=1245\">Vince Vaughn Breaks Down His EA Sports History: From \u2018Swingers\u2019 to \u2018The Breakup\u2019 to \u2018Madden NFL 27\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThen her producer friend Mann, who produced <em>Swiss Army Man<\/em> with Bailey, mentioned she was on board for \u201cthis Greek film.\u201d It was <em>The Boy With the Light-Blue Eyes<\/em>, and Bailey immediately recognized the creator\u2019s name. \u201cLauren knows that I like really weird stuff, and I said, \u2018Oh my god, I love this director,&#8217;\u201d she recalls. \u201cI hadn\u2019t even read the script but I knew it would be great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDuring the weeks of shooting, the two American producers split up their time on set in Greece. \u201cIt was all Greek to me,\u201d literally, quips Bailey. \u201cNoone spoke English beyond Thanasis and the young star of the movie, Grigoris.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBut it was all worth it given the clear and authentic storytelling voice she spotted in Neofotistos. \u201cIt\u2019s about a uniqueness and a point of view,\u201d the producer tells <em>THR<\/em>. \u201cI like to produce with creatives who have a very specific voice and point of view. You know what a Noah Baumbach film is or can tell, \u2018Oh, that\u2019s a James Gunn film,\u2019 that\u2019s a Daniels film.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBailey does not have a big masterplan for her future in international production work or a possible second film with Neofotistos. \u201cI am one of those producers who do not latch on to the directors,\u201d she says. \u201cI like when things happen organically. But obviously, if Thanasis came to me and wanted me to be a part of his next movie, I would love to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBailey will keep an eye on the international, with Amanda Kramer\u2019s <em>By Design<\/em>, starring Juliette Lewis as a woman who swaps bodies with a chair and Melanie Griffith\u00a0as narrator, having just sold to Bulldog Film Distribution for the U.K. and Ireland where it will launch later in the year.
