Uri Singer’s Passage Pictures has secured the rights to “In the Blue,” the next feature film from writer-director duo Delilah Napier and Lucy Powers.

The pair’s feature “Floating Carousel” premiered this year at the Woodstock Film Festival, where it won the Ultra Indie Award for Best Narrative Feature. Their first feature film, “Voyeur,” which they made for just $4,000 while still undergraduates at Yale, is now on Amazon Prime. It won the Best U.S. Feature and Audience Award at the 2020 SoHo International Film Festival.

“In the Blue” follows Brie, an aspiring actor and tutor, who’s offered a large sum of money to help her tutoring client, Seth, finish his college applications on his family yacht trip to the Exumas for the holidays. Once onboard, the luxury yacht trip soon descends into a claustrophobic nightmare as buried resentments erupt and family tensions become increasingly dangerous.

Uri Singer, the producer of “White Noise,” is producing the adaptation, alongside Isabella Zanobini, through his company Passage Pictures. Among Passage Picture’s upcoming projects are an adaptation of Don DeLillo’s “Underworld” with Ted Melfi (“Hidden Figures”) writing and directing, and a James Ellroy adaptation with Amazon/MGM. He is also producing the Black List script “Paparazzo.” Singer’s previous work includes several Michael Almereyda films, such as “Tesla” and “Marjorie Prime,” both of which premiered at Sundance.

“I am so excited to be working with these talented young filmmakers,” Singer said in a statement. “I really believe in them, and in this film, which draws upon their personal experiences to create a perfectly comedic and twisted exploration of power and wealth.”

“We think this is exactly the type of darkly entertaining film that audiences will love – just as we did when we read the script,” Zanobini said in a statement.

Singer is represented by Knol Hanly PC. Napier and Powers are represented by UTA and Modern Literary Arts.
