The film is executive produced by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Alex J. Reid, Highland Film Group’s Delphine Perrier and Arianne Fraser and SquareOne Productions’ Al Munteanu.

“We are thrilled to have our international partners come on board to distribute ‘One True Loves,’ a beautiful and universal story of love and loss,” said Highland Film Group CEO Arianne Fraser.
