PARK CITY -- Showtime Networks and indie distributor Strand Releasing are teaming to roll out writer-helmer Michael Burke's drama The Mudge Boy theatrically in April. The move marks the second collaboration between the banners, which also released Arthur Penn's Inside, starring Nigel Hawthorne. The deal is part of the cable net's Showtime Independent Films, which was formally launched this year to "demonstrate the network's commitment to working with established specialty producers and directors to fully finance and produce low-budget films targeted for theatrical premiere," the company said. SIF's Baadasssss! was acquired by Sony Pictures Classics this year and is screening at the Sundance Film Festival.
