Our feature horror film 'Double Blind' was presented to over 450 Industry professionals at the Frontieres International Co-Production Market last week in Montréal, where it went down a storm! We had a great time at the market- 60 meetings in 4 days was an INTENSE but invaluable experience! We can't wait to get this bad boy on the screen!

Our feature film 'Double Blind' has been chosen to take part in the Frontières International Co-Production Market in Montreal in July.
Over the course of 4 days, the Frontières International Co-Production Market presents 20 projects in development (10 European and 10 North American) which are presented to a large and diverse group of prominent industry professionals (producers, financiers, sales agents, distributors).
The 20 Official Selection projects participate in an opening pitch session to the 450 industry professionals in attendance, who then meet one-on-one with the projects via a meeting scheduling service.
It's a huge honour to be selected, and an exciting next step for our horror/thriller 'Double Blind'.
