Gabriele Muccino – Winners Announced

Posted by Ross on May 27th, 2010

OK, we’re officially excited.

Over the last few days, our independent judge, the team at OFC, Peroni Nastro Azzurro and Gabriele Muccino himself has been trawling through all your applications on OFC. The quality was really high and a huge amount of competition. After many days of consideration Gabriele has made his decisions.

The opportunity is going to be amazing, especially when we heard about the size of the production crew Peroni Nastro Azzurro were throwing behind the film! It’s going to be brilliant!

So congratulations to:
*Emma Lo Gatto – Art Department
*Arturo Querzoli – Director
*Tricia Temple – Make Up
*Phil Eldridge – Editor
*Simon Webster – Music/Composer
*Susan Kulkrani – Costume
*Sonny Botero – Producer

You’ll all be receiving updates and information from Gabriele’s production team soon. We’re delighted for you all!

Want this again next year?
For those of you who missed out – we’re also considering doing the same next year (not necessarily just in the UK) and would urge you to fill out our 60 second survey here and please get you and your friends to vote if you want this again next year… it will make a difference!

With best wishes and thanks again to all of you who entered,

Ross and Craig

Posted by Ross on May 12th, 2010

British Film distributor Soda Pictures, which has a focus on world and art house cinema, has set up a distribution fund of £2m ($3m) to acquire bigger films and boost its release campaigns.

The Soda Film Fund is a partnership between Soda and Lumiere Film Investments, and has been open to private investors since the end of last year.

It aims to acquire six to ten films over the next year, for release by the end of 2011, and has already acquired Francis Ford Coppola’s Tetro(right) and the adaptation of Chris Greenhalgh’s novel Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky.

Soda Pictures is on One Fat Cigar’s list of distributors who are regularly updated about the most exciting projects on the website.
