WASHINGTON: Alchemy, an American movie studio, has acquired all North American rights to a new true-life romantic comedy "Meet the Patels" from an Indian-American brother-sister team in the US.

Directed by the sibling team of Geeta V. Patel and Ravi V. Patel and produced by Janet Eckholm and Geeta V. Patel, "Meet the Patels" will receive a theatrical release in the US later this year.

It "is a hilarious and universal story about family, cultural identity and the search for love," said Alchemy CEO Bill Lee announcing the acquisition of rights in Los Angeles Wednesday

"We're thrilled to collaborate with the Patel family to help this gem cross over to the wide audience it deserves. It's a true crowd pleaser, and we expect tremendous word of mouth."

"Festival screenings had been selling out with lines around the block, and we couldn't keep up with the demand," added Geeta and Ravi Patel.

"Thanks to UTA and Alchemy, "Meet the Patels" will hit theatres across the country this year. This is going to be fun!"
