Briarcliff Entertainment has acquired the domestic distribution rights to the offbeat thriller-comedy Drag, which premiered at the 2026 SXSW and stars Lizzy Caplan, Lucy DeVito, John Stamos, and Christine Ko. The film, directed by Raviv Ullman and Greg Yagolnitzer in their feature directorial debuts, follows two estranged sisters who attempt to rob a secluded home in rural upstate New York. What begins as a simple heist quickly turns into a chaotic and unexpected journey as one sister throws out her back and becomes immobilized on the second floor. This leads to a race to escape before the homeowners return, exploring themes of sibling rivalry, physical pain, and the complex dynamics of family bonds. The film is produced by Danny DeVito, Lucy DeVito, and Jake DeVito through Jersey Films 2nd Avenue, and it marks the first indie project from this production company. The producers and directors express their excitement about bringing this darkly comedic film to the big screen, emphasizing the importance of experiencing it in a theater setting. Tom Ortenberg, CEO of Briarcliff Entertainment, praises the film's originality, suspense, and humor, highlighting the exceptional cast's performance. This acquisition showcases Briarcliff's commitment to supporting original voices and bold storytelling, as they aim to bring this unique and entertaining film to audiences across the country.
