‘K-11’ From Kristen Stewart’s Mom Gets Picked Up for Distribution

It doesn’t hurt to have your daughter constantly in the news when it comes time to get your feature film directorial debut picked up for distribution, does it?

Jules Stewart, mom of Twilight star Kristen, just had her dramatic film K-11 picked up by Breaking Glass Pictures. Breaking Glass is planning to open the film in North American theaters in late 2012 or early 2013.

Breaking Glass CEO Rich Wolff made the deal for distribution in collaboration with Libertine Films’ Tom Wright. Announcing the acquisition, Wright stated: “The Breaking Glass team is a great fit for K-11 as they are uniquely positioned to market the film to both a wide audience and the several niche demographics that will love this film. We’re certain they will truly capitalize on its diverse market appeal.”

Added Wolff: “We are pleased to be distributing the very talented Jules Stewart’s first film. K-11 is very unique to say the least and surely will raise a few eyebrows. The acting is dead on, the story is gripping, and we are gunning for multiple award nominations.”

K-11

The Plot: The film follows Raymond Saxx Jr. (Goran Visnjic), a powerful record producer who wakes from a drug-induced blackout to find himself locked up in K-11, the [real] section of the Los Angeles County Men’s Central jail for gay and transgender inmates. Plunged into a nightmarish world ruled by a transsexual diva named Mousey (Kate del Castillo), Raymond is truly a fish out of water.

Complicating matters are a troubled young transgender named Butterfly (Portia Doubleday), a predatory child molester (Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister), and the ruthless Sheriff’s Deputy, Lt. Johnson (D.B. Sweeney). Ray’s struggle to contact the outside world and regain his freedom seems impossible, so he must learn to navigate this new power structure if he is ever going to survive and regain control of his life.

The cast also includes Jason Mewes, Tara Buck, and Kristen’s brother, Cameron.
