Two-time Academy Award-nominated director Spike Lee has struck a deal with Variance Films to distribute his new film, Red Hook Summer, which premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival.
Red Hook Summer was filmed in secrecy last summer in Brooklyn and was financed independently by Lee. The film, which will see Lee reprise his role of Mookie from his 1989 classic, Do the Right Thing, is set to be released in New York on August 10 and then to expand to select cites across the United States.
