CM reports brisk AFM

Breaking Glass Pictures and Bounty Films/Monster Pictures have signed a deal with LA-based Continental Media in the wake of AFM to partner on US, UK and Australian distribution of Coldwater.

Christian Meinke of MFA has picked up the title for German-speaking Europe and plans a 2014 theatrical release. CM has also closed a South Korean deal with Mania 22 and licensed France to KMBO.

Vincent Grashaw co-wrote the Coldwater screenplay with Mark Penney and directed. Joe Bilotta of Flying Pig Productions served as executive producer on the SXSW premiere about a remote juvenile prison camp run by a brutal retired military colonel.

CM closed a number of sales on the romance Refuge starring Krysten Ritter and Brian Geraghty. Signature Entertainment has acquired UK rights, Accent Media Australia/New Zealand, CCC Taiwan and Able Entertainment South Korea.

Able Entertainment has licensed several other CM films including Solo and new espionage thriller God’s Slave, which premiered at Mar Del Plata in Argentina last weekend.

Crime drama Duke (pictured) starring Carmine Giovinazzo and Vanessa Ferlitto has gone to Vendetta Films in Australia/New Zealand, Warwick Films in the UK, Moby Dick Entertainment in South Korea and CCC in Taiwan.

CM has also licensed Saturday Morning Massacre to Accent Media in Australia/New Zealand, Warwick Films in the UK and Mania 22 in South Korea.

UK’s The Movie Partnership has taken road-trip drama The Most Fun I’ve Ever Had With My Pants On while Cineama/Cubovision will distribute in Italy.

“It’s our aim to provide new and innovative ways of breaking content into the marketplace,” said Shreder, CM co-founder with James Andrew Felts. “At AFM, we’ve forged new relationships with a handful of experienced distributors who jumped on our slate’s potential.”
