Exclusive: Gravitas Ventures, a Red Arrow Studios Company, has acquired North American rights to The Florist, with plans to release the film on digital and cable VOD on August 10.
The indie, based on a 2014 short of the same name, centers on a lonely urban botanist named Annika, who sources and tests the edible, sensation-inducing flowers, which are in vogue at high-end restaurants, before they make it to the table. Hoping to take her career to the next level, Annika pushes aside her regular customers and risks everything to concentrate on finding the extremely rare and profitable ‘Comet Flower.’ Unfortunately, the elusive flower proves harder to find than expected. Annika must then decide whether to accept defeat, or to do whatever it takes, in order for her unique business and career to flourish.

Rebecca Murphy has added feature film producer to her list of credits with a deadpan comedy set to debut this Thursday at the Revelation Perth International Film Festival.
Based on the 2014 short of the same name, The Florist follows millennial Annika, played by Murphy, who earns her living selling edible hypnotic flowers to fashionable eateries across Los Angeles.
Following her instincts, and driven by blind ambition, her business appears to be going well until the onset of competitors prompt her to take action and announce she has found the elusive Comet Flower, a legendary plant that may have unique qualities.
The film was written and directed by fellow Australian Andrew Ryan (writer and creator of MTV’s The Sellers) and was shot in California.
The short, also written and directed by Ryan and produced by Murphy, screened at Tribeca Film Festival, with the script named as a finalist for the 2016 Sundance Alfred P Sloan Prize.
