Katy Chevigny’s narrative feature debut “The Easy Kind” has been acquired by Persimmon Pictures and will launch with an Oscar-qualifying theatrical run at the IFC Center beginning June 3, ahead of a wider rollout and August digital release.

The film stars renegade country singer Elizabeth Cook as a fictionalized version of herself, portraying an artist navigating midlife while contending with an industry that has never fully embraced her. Cook also contributes an original song, “The Easy Kind,” which will be campaigned for best original song at next year’s Academy Awards.
