The Incomer,” Louis Paxton’s debut feature starring Domhnall Gleeson, has been picked up by Focus Features for international rights and is now also set to open this year’s Edinburgh Film Festival.

The Scottish folk-comedy-drama, focussing on the clash between a pair of isolated siblings and a government worker on a remote, windswept island, premiered in Sundance, where it won the NEXT Innovator Award. Alongside Gleeson, Gayle Rankin (“House of The Dragon,” “Glow”) and Grant O’Rourke (“Outlander”) star with an ensemble cast including John Hannah (“Sliding Doors,” “The Last of Us”) Michelle Gomez (“Green Wing,” “Doom Patrol”) and Emun Elliott (“The Gold,” “Sexy Beast”).
