Verve Ventures has boarded Jerome Sable’s black comedy “Wolf of the North” for North American sales ahead of its bow at Frontières at TIFF: The Market.

One of seven projects in the genre showcase which is co-presented by the Fantasia International Film Festival and the inaugural TIFF: The Market on Sept. 12, “Wolf of the North” stars Canadian actor and comedian Pat Thornton as an obsessive wildlife star-wannabe trying to finish the last work of his more-famous father, who was eaten by Arctic wolves 30 years ago while making a film about them.
