Deals have closed with MGN/Paradise Film Group for CIS, Vertice 360 for Spain, Gruppo Minerva for Italy, Swen for Latin America, Five Stars for Israel and Eagle film for Middle East.
Deals were closed by Saradan’s US sales rep Karinne Behr.

London-based Saradan is overseen by former banker Lee Beasley, who previously worked in the Entertainment division of The Royal Bank of Scotland in London and Standard Chartered Bank in Honk Kong.
