Visit Films has secured worldwide sales rights for "The Gymnast," a US film starring Ethan Embry, Britney Wheeler, and Margarita Levieva, set to premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam's Tiger Competition.

The director has received recognition for her work, being named one of "25 New Faces in Independent Film" by Filmmaker Magazine and awarded residencies at Yaddo and the Berlinale Talents.

Visit Films' president Ryan Kampe praises "The Gymnast" for its universal themes, saying that Glynn has skillfully depicted the pressure and ambition involved in elite competition as well as the consequences that can arise when goals and dreams are altered.
Produced by Ricky Tollman and Luke Spears, with executive producers including Randy Manis and David Thion, the film boasts a talented cast. "The Gymnast" is set to screen at both the European Film Market in Berlin and Rotterdam.

It's not just about making a film; it's about sharing her vision with the world and hopefully inspiring others to do the same. I'm excited to see how "The Gymnast" will be received by audiences!
