From the Producer of STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON, Bill Straus, SWEATY BETTY is a "snapshot of life" (Austin Chronicle) from first-time directors Joseph Frank and Zachary Reed.

In this "Heartfelt" and "Joyfully Unique" (indieWire) film, a big dream and a pig dream takes place in a low income neighborhood on the outskirts of Washington D.C. Joseph Frank and Zachary Reed co-wrote SWEATY BETTY with the film's lead actors Seth Dubois, Floyd Rich, and Rico S.

SWEATY BETTY made it's world premiere at the 2015 South by Southwest Film Festival and received glowing reviews with Eric Kohn stating the film is "the great discovery of this year's festival" (indieWire). SWEATY BETTY went on to win Best Feature Film at the 2015 Brooklyn Film Festival.

Official Synopsis:
In a cramped row house on the border of Washington D.C., two stories of big dreams take place. Floyd and his family have raised a 1,000-pound pig in their backyard, and are determined to turn her into the team mascot for the Redskins football team. Floyd puts his plan into motion, but the pig, named Miss Charlotte, draws unwanted attention. A few blocks away, Rico and Scooby, two TEENAGE single fathers and best friends, are hanging around the neighborhood. As they scheme up a plan for a better life for themselves and their children, they are presented with an unexpected opportunity.

"SWEATY BETTY offers a unique voice and perspective that echoes a new age mumble core. We are ecstatic to bring this film to audiences, in our constant mission of offering people diverse cinema experiences," says Michael Repsch, Breaking Glass' VP of Sales and Distribution.

Breaking Glass is planning a theatrical release for SWEATY BETTY in New York City, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. on January 8. An iTunes, Amazon Instant, Xbox, and VOD release will follow on January 12.
