Paris-based sales company Loco Films has acquired world sales rights to Mari Sanders’ “Stand Up” ahead of its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival and is launching sales at the Cannes Market.

The Dutch director’s debut tells the story of Vera, a fun-loving 23-year-old woman whose life is upended when an accident leaves her in a wheelchair. No longer feeling that she fits into her old life, she’s drawn into the world of Xander, a young man who has always lived with disability.
