“Alma” is produced by Potter’s longstanding collaborator Christopher Sheppard of Adventure Pictures (“The Roads Not Taken,” “The Party,” “Orlando”) and Rebecca O’Brien of Sixteen Films (“The Wind that Shakes the Barley,” “I, Daniel Blake,” “The Old Oak”). Co-producers on the project are Les Films d’Antoine, under the direction of Antoine Simkine, in France and Komplizen, led by producers Jonas Dornbach, Janine Jackowski and Maren Ade in Germany.
