Here! Films, the theatrical distribution and worldwide sales division of Here! Networks, has acquired worldwide distribution rights to "Eleven Minutes," a documentary about fashion designer Jay McCarroll, winner of the first season of "Project Runway." The project is co-directed and co-produced by Michael Selditch and Rob Tate.

Regent Releasing, Here!'s sister company, and Here! Networks will distribute the film day-and-date in theaters and on the cable network on Feb. 20.

In 2006, Selditch and Tate made a one-off TV special on McCarroll for Bravo called "Project Jay." "Eleven Minutes" picks up where that program ended.

The documentary chronicles McCarroll's year-long journey preparing his first independent runway show for New York's Fashion Week in Bryant Park and the subsequent selling of his line to stores.
