The heads of Exclusive Media’s Newmarket Films has acquired U.S. rights to the Sundance favorite, "Hesher," directed by Spencer Susser and starring Joseph Gordon Levitt and Natalie Portman.  The seven figure deal was reached early this morning following an extremely successful screening in Salt Lake City last night.

Since premiering at the festival last Friday, the film has picked up momentum and sites such as Aint it Cool  News have lauded the film as one of the best of the festival. Susser, was recently named one of Variety magazine's Ten Directors to Watch.
