Sale of “Hamlet 2;” latest from “Little Miss Sunshine” producers

Friends of UCLA Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa are very happy Sundance attendees today since their film, “Hamlet 2,” was the first sale of the Festival. Focus Features acquired the comedy for about $10-million in an early morning bidding war. Executive producers Berger and Yerxa were just heading to the film’s first screening Monday evening when we interviewed them on camera about their long history with the Park City event.

Video interview is now online.
