Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Film — General
Capture, the international sales joint venture of Signature Entertainment and Capstone Studios, has boarded international sales rights to Flint, a Western starring Josh Holloway. The project will be introduced to international buyers at the American Film Market in Los Angeles this month.
Why it matters
The deal gives the film a sales path to international buyers ahead of market screenings, a common step for independent productions seeking distribution beyond their home territory. For global audiences, it signals continued demand for traditional Western storytelling adapted from classic literature.
The film's ensemble includes nine supporting performers alongside lead Josh Holloway, with the project premiering at the Nashville Film Festival in September 2026. Financial terms, territory breakdowns and distribution dates for the international sales deal were not disclosed.

Industry Dynamics
Flint extends the long tradition of adapting Louis L'Amour's frontier novels for the screen, a pipeline that continues to feed independent Western productions. The film's reliance on a specialized international sales company reflects how smaller genre projects often rely on market screenings to reach global buyers.
Viewers will be able to see Flint only after international buyers pick up distribution, and no release windows or platforms have been announced. The film's festival premiere means early audiences may encounter it at regional screenings before wider availability.
The takeaway
Independent Westerns depend heavily on international sales agents to find buyers, so watch for distribution announcements following the American Film Market. Film fans interested in the project can track festival screenings for early viewing opportunities.
