Mongrel Media has picked up Canadian filmmaker and actress Ingrid Veninger’s debut feature Modra after it bowed at the Toronto International Film Festival.

“I’m so over the moon,” Veninger, a veteran producer turned director said Friday afternoon after a distribution deal with Mongrel was inked. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The deal for the coming-of-age drama followed the first public screening for Modra in Toronto on Wednesday night as part of the Contemporary World Cinema sidebar.

The film stars Hallie Switzer, Alexander Gammal, Cyril Dugovic, Elena Dugovicova and Mathieu Chesneau.

Modra takes its name from a quirky town in Slovakia where a 17 year-old girl travels to visit her extended family.

Veninger, who was born in Slovakia before coming to Canada, directed short films and co-directed the 2008 film Only before doing a solo outing with Modra.

The Mongrel Media deal is only the second pickup of a Canadian title during the Toronto festival, after Sony Pictures Classics earlier acquired Denis Villeneuve’s Incendies.

Pre-festival acquisitions were made for other Canuck titles like Casino Jack and Barney’s Version.
