Production began on July 25, 2010.

Academy Award winning actor, Adrien Brody stars as Henry Barthes, a substitute teacher, who roams from school to school, imparting modes of knowledge, but never staying long enough to form any semblance of sentient attachment.

Detachment is produced by Austin Stark, Benji Kohn, Chris Papavasiliou and Bingo Gubelmann of Paper Street Films and Carl Lund. Exec producers are Greg Shapiro and Peter Sterling. ICM packaged Detachment and will be selling North American rights.
