Studio Dome Acquires “Out of Order!” Before American Film Market

By Elena Vasquez

Studio Dome acquired worldwide sales and distribution rights to “Out of Order!” before the American Film Market, covering a legal comedy starring Brandon Routh, Brooke Shields and Luis Guzmán.

What did Studio Dome acquire?

The transaction gives Studio Dome both worldwide sales and distribution rights to the film. Studio Dome said Guy Jacobson directed “Out of Order!” and co-wrote it with Megan Freels Johnston. The film’s official logline reads: “A lawyer trying to turn his life around and win his girlfriend back finds himself in a world of trouble when he takes on a big new case — representing both sides.”

Studio Dome’s announcement identifies Sandra Bernhard, Tao Okamoto, Sam Huntington, Krysta Rodriguez, Asher Grodman and Michael Potts as additional ensemble members.

Shaked Berenson, founder and CEO of Studio Dome, said: “Guy has delivered a smart, evergreen, funny take on legal absurdity with a cast that knows how to land a joke. Studio Dome is building a slate of character comedies that travel, and ‘Out of Order!’ fits squarely in that lane.”

The acquisition gives Studio Dome worldwide sales and distribution for a legal comedy with three leads and six other named cast members.

What has the film won?

Studio Dome described “Out of Order!” as an awards favorite on the festival circuit. The company reported that the film had recently completed a four-prize sweep at the 2026 Myrtle Beach International Film Festival, spanning overall film, feature, comedy and acting honors.

• Best overall.
• Best feature.
• Best comedy.
• Best actor for Brandon Routh.

Studio Dome also listed U.S. festival honors, including:

• Chelsea Film Festival audience award.
• Best feature and audience award at the Northeast Pennsylvania Film Festival.
• Best feature at Portland Comedy and Sugarloaf.

The four Myrtle Beach prizes form the film’s strongest recent festival result.
