Briarcliff picks up heist-comedy 'Drag' for fall release

Los Angeles, May 19 (UNI) Briarcliff Entertainment has secured domestic distribution rights for "Drag", a genre-blending heist thriller comedy that premiered at the 2026 South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival.
The film marks the feature directorial debut of Raviv Ullman and Greg Yagolnitzer, and stars an ensemble led by Lizzy Caplan, Lucy DeVito, John Stamos and Christine Ko, according to DEADLINE.
The film follows two estranged sisters who attempt to rob a secluded home in rural upstate New York. What begins as a simple heist spirals into a nightmarish ordeal after one sister throws out her back and becomes immobilized on the second floor. A race to escape before the homeowners return results in an exploration of sibling rivalry, physical pain, and the uniquely chaotic bonds of family.
The film is produced by Danny DeVito, alongside Lucy DeVito and Jake DeVito, under Jersey Films 2nd Avenue.

This is the first indie hatched by Jersey Films 2nd Avenue, the production company founded by Danny DeVito, Lucy DeVito, and Jake DeVito. They've previously launched the animated FXX series "Little Demon" and the Amazon sports docuseries "Game 7". The company's new film initiative is focused on championing original voices and bold, genre-defying storytelling. UNI NST SSP
