NEW YORK (March 14, 2025) – Sony Pictures Classics announced today that they have acquired all worldwide rights to OH, HI!, written and directed by Sophie Brooks (THE BOY DOWNSTAIRS). The film, which serves as Brooks' sophomore feature and stars Molly Gordon, Logan Lerman, Geraldine Viswanathan, and John Reynolds, charmed audiences and critics alike at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

OH, HI! is produced by David Brooks, Dan Clifton, Julie Waters, Sophie Brooks, and Molly Gordon. Evan Dyal, Justin Brown, and Evan Moore are executive producers alongside Sabina Friedman-Seitz, Molly Quinn, Matthew M. Welty, and Elan Gale.

In OH HI!, Iris (Molly Gordon) and Isaac’s (Logan Lerman) first romantic weekend getaway as a couple goes awry. Convinced that he’s just confused, Iris goes to extreme lengths to prove to him that they are meant to be together.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled that we have found our home with Sony Pictures Classics. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved their films; always marked by distinct voices and elegance,” said Brooks. “I can’t wait for audiences to see our kooky film in theaters.”

“That unpredictable, dark romantic comedy – youthful and hilarious yet with just the right about of danger. The performances are fantastic and beautifully directed by Sophie Brooks. OH HI! Is a definite audience winner,” added Sony Pictures Classics.

Sophie Brooks is a London born, Brooklyn based writer and director. Her sophomore feature OH, HI! premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. THE BOY DOWNSTAIRS, was acquired by Film Rise and HBO at the Tribeca Film Festival.
