Repeaters has played at a number of festivals in Canada and had its world premiere as a Special Presentation at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. The story revolves around an ensemble cast made up of Dustin Milligan (90210), Amanda Crew (Charlie St.Cloud), and Richard de Klerk, who also starred in Bessai's Cole.

The deal was negotiated by Andrew Herwitz, President of the Film Sales Company on behalf of the filmmakers, with Mark Slone of Alliance Films. "It’s very fulfilling that the quality of Repeaters has been recognized by Alliance Films,” said Bessai, pictured below. “With their proven track record I know Repeaters will have an excellent run. I am looking forward to working with them on the release.”

No release date had been set as of press time.

“We are delighted that Alliance Films will be handling Repeaters for Canada,” said producer Irene Nelson of Rampart Films. "Quality distribution is paramount to the success of any film and for Repeaters to garner the attention of Canada’s top distributor is particularly rewarding."

Established in 2004, Rampart Films has offices in Vancouver and Los Angeles and is known for producing commercially viable, thought-provoking feature films and documentaries. It currently has four features to its credit and one documentary in post-production.

Alliance Films holds the exclusive distribution rights to movies from top independent studios, including Focus Features, Relativity Media, CBS Films, and The Weinstein Company, as well as co-financing and distribution arrangements with select independent producers.
