deadline.com/2015/12/taran-killam-casual-encounters-grindstone-filmrise-gored-1201664691/FilmRise has acquired the exclusive rights in all media for Gored, the bullfighter documentary that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in April. Director Ido Mizrahy’s Spanish-language film centers on Antonio Barrera, the most-gored bullfighter in history, whose bovine adversaries’ horns have found him on 23 occasions — and his wife has witnessed 18 of them. Beginning his final faceoff, the aging toreador is torn between his role as a father and husband and his final chance at bullfighting glory. “Ido Mizrahy has created a thrilling and thought-provoking sports documentary that goes beyond bullfighting to address themes that we can all relate to: survival, determination, and family,” said Danny Fisher, CEO of FilmRise. The docu from Motherlode Films and Roopstigo will be available on digital platforms including iTunes, Amazon and Netflix throughout North America, Latin America, Spain and the United Kingdom. FilmRise also will distribute it on DVD and Blu-ray. The deal was negotiated between Fisher and Max Einhorn, VP Acquisitions at FilmRise, with Steven Beer of FWRV.
