“Delphine was the missing piece we needed to take Highland Film Group to the next level,” said Fraser. “She brings with her a vast experience and expertise in selling theatrical and commercial films that is unparalleled. I feel blessed to have her on our team. My vision for Highland was to focus on acquiring well produced and commercial films with an emphasis on working with a strong network of prolific filmmakers to reverse engineer content with the consumer in mind, all the while staying true to the artistry of the film making process.”

“I am looking forward to work with Arianne Fraser,” said Perrier. “Her strong entrepreneurial leadership qualities and my experience are the perfect bases of the world class sales operation we are building together.”
