Cohen’s previous film, “Museum Hours,” was released by Cinema Guild in 2013. “Counting” will open in theaters later this year. “Counting” also marks the first film to be handled by Cinema Guild’s new international sales unit, working to secure theatrical, broadcast and digital releases in international territories. The film is comprised of 15 distinct but interconnected chapters, shot in locations from Russia to New York City to Istanbul. “After their extraordinary work with ‘Museum Hours,’ I am thrilled to team with CG again,” Cohen said. “I consider them true comrades in film rather than mere business associates, and with ‘Counting’ I valued their input and ideas from the inception of the project.” Cohen’s feature-length films include “Museum Hours,” “Chain,” “Benjamin Smoke,” “Instrument” and “Evening’s Civil Twilight in Empires of Tin.” Shorts include “Lost Book Found,” “Amber City,” “Little Flags” and “Anne Truitt, Working.”
