On the eve of Cannes, the London-based company specializing in sales, finance, and production, Protagonist Pictures, unveiled its new, smaller-scale label.
Protagonist Pictures (a company based in London that handles sales, financing, and production) has introduced a new, smaller version of itself just before Cannes starts.
As announced by CEO Dave Bishop, Protagonist Picks will be headed by industry expert Isabel Ivars. The company states that this initiative is aimed at showcasing unique and daring projects to a broad international audience. Its flexible and customized approach aligns with the dynamic nature of today’s marketplace.
I’m thrilled to announce that my work, the Protagonist Picks, will be positioned next to the Protagonist’s impressive lineup of fresh movie premieres and a time-honored collection. The primary focus of this selection is to cater to prestigious non-theatrical partners. As a creator, it’s a privilege to have my work recognized in such esteemed company.
The newly introduced specialty label is debuting with an initial collection of five works, aiming to expand this selection further before major market releases.
The lineup features two documentaries: “Vice is Broke,” helmed by Eddie Huang (creator of “Fresh Off the Boat”), and “Bigger Than Art,” co-directed by Alvaro Porras and Gonzalo Fernandes De Cordova. Following Vice Media’s bankruptcy, “Vice is Broke” provides a gritty, intimate account from Eddie Huang as he navigates through the aftermath, illuminating the rise and fall of Vice. On the other hand, “Bigger Than Art” gathers renowned artistic figures like Marina Abramović, David Hockney, Jeff Koons, Julian Schnabel, among others, under the guidance of Gottfried Helnwein and Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn.
Currently, there’s the sports comedy titled “Racewalkers” in production. This film is directed by the duo, Kevin Claydon and Phil Moniz. The story revolves around a coach struggling with racewalking and a former professional baseball player who has fallen from grace. Robbie Amell, Milton Barnes, Kevin Claydon, and Phil Moniz are the main cast members in this production.
Among the added storylines are:
1. “The Luckiest Man in America,” a film helmed by Samir Oliveros with Paul Walter Hauser and Walton Goggins in lead roles, based on the real-life 1984 scandal involving Michael Larson, an ice cream truck driver who became famous on the game show Press Your Luck.
2. “This Time Next Year,” a romantic comedy directed by Nick Moore featuring Lucien Laviscount and Sophie Cookson. This film is adapted from the bestselling novel of the same name and revolves around Minnie and Quinn, twins born exactly a minute apart on New Year’s Day.
As a new addition to the Protagonist Pictures team in 2021, serving as festival and library manager, I am thrilled to announce my recent promotion to Director of Sales for Protagonist Picks and Library. Prior to joining Protagonist, I honed my skills as a sales agent with the esteemed Paris-based Wide Management, and held the position of Head of Festivals at Films Boutique in Berlin. During my tenure there, I had the privilege of overseeing remarkable titles such as “There Is No Evil,” “The Story Of My Wife,” and “Border.” I am eager to bring my expertise to this new role and continue our shared mission of showcasing exceptional cinematic stories.
The speaker mentioned that Protagonist Picks focuses on daring narratives and innovative perspectives. They’re creating a dynamic, quick-witted label for original, courageous storytelling. This spans across movies, documentaries, and series. Their goal is to bridge visionary creators with audiences worldwide, making their work accessible on any platform.
The new label will receive comprehensive, all-encompassing assistance from various departments within the company, including legal, financial, operational, marketing, and public relations teams.
Bishop expressed great enthusiasm about revealing a fresh, strategic growth plan for our expanding storytelling ventures. Isabel’s expertise in content creation and her extensive global network make her perfectly suited to lead Protagonist Picks. This new division is expected to boost our market presence and harmoniously enhance the esteemed collection of awards won by Protagonist Pictures.
