The title has been picked up by Well Go USA for the US and Canada. It has also been acquired for Latin America by BF Distribution, for Middle East countries by Phars Filmco Motion Pictures, as well as for South Korea by Cinema Black and Italy by Minerva Pictures.

The producers of the film include Vadim Vereschagin (“Billion”, “Text”, “Son of a Rich”), Rafael Minasbekyan (“Furious”, “Frontier”, “Mermaid: Lake of the dead”), Dzhanik Fayziev (“Furious”, “Frontier”, “Mermaid: Lake of the dead”), Paul Heth, Michael Schlicht and Roman Stolyarsky.
“ROW 19 is a spine-tingling new entry to the genre that will prove quite capable of keeping audiences around the world at the edge of their seats, and we’re thrilled to team up with Central Partnership to bring the film to horror fans throughout North America,” said Doris Pfardrescher, President and CEO of Well Go USA.
“ROW 19 is a high-quality genre film, which keeps the viewer glued to the screen until the end. It will be equally spine-chilling and entertaining for audiences in any country, and we expect more global deals by the end of the year”, adds Vadim Vereschagin, producer, CEO of Central Partnership.
