Anthony Ramos Joins Kaet Might Die Cannes Sales Launch
anthony ramos is in Kaet Might Die, and Capture Entertainment is taking the film to Cannes for international sales after production wrapped. The move puts the project in front of buyers before a release plan is set, with Awkwafina and Ken Jeong also attached.
Cannes for Kaet Might Die
Capture is launching the film at Cannes in 2026, a market where sales agents sort out territory-by-territory distribution. The project is already carrying a finished package: Mercedes Bryce Morgan is directing, Angela Gulner and Yuri Baranovsky adapted the script, and Awkwafina and Kaet McAnneny are executive producers.
Kaet Might Die adapts Kaet McAnneny’s cancer memoir Boobs Gone Rogue and tells the story of a woman whose diagnosis upends her life, forcing her to lean on humor and imagination as her marriage and family fall apart. Morgan said, "This amazing script is based on a real story, but expressed through a lens that’s darkly funny, heightened, and wildly surreal," and added, "Because sometimes when things are dark, the best response is to find a way to still laugh through it all."
Awkwafina and Ken Jeong
Awkwafina and Ken Jeong reunite as father and daughter, a setup that gives the film a built-in sales hook for buyers looking for recognizable names with a tonal lane. Morgan said, "Awkwafina navigates that tonal tightrope in a way very few actors can, and building a cast around her that could match that energy was incredibly important to me."
Joel David Moore said, "When Kaet first brought me her memoir, I thought her fearless and hilarious take on the worst moments of her life would resonate with audiences everywhere," and added, "But Mercedes and the team have brought that vision to life in ways beyond my wildest imagination led by Awkwafina in a career-defining performance." That kind of language is meant to sell a package, not just describe it.
Six Weeks Ago Rumor
Six weeks ago, casting first surfaced as a rumor, and the project has moved from that early chatter to a wrapped film with a Cannes sales launch. Capture is also co-representing domestic sales with CAA, so the title now has both international and U.S. representation in place before buyers make their bids.
For Anthony Ramos, the immediate significance is simple: Kaet Might Die is no longer a development item but a completed film entering the market with a cast and sales strategy already defined. The next step is whether Cannes buyers turn that package into broad distribution, or leave it to be sold territory by territory.
