Central Partnership Group has signed an agreement with the Endeavor talent agency to represent the Group's interests in North America. Under the agreement, Endeavor will act as sales agent for rights to Central Partnership movies and will organize joint production projects with major US studios.

Should Endeavor clients film in Russia, Central Partnership has right of first refusal to become a partner in these projects. The agreement also states that Endeavor will act as representative in the West for Russian directors that work with Central Partnership. The Russian film company will also receive right of first refusal to co-produce new projects by these directors, and to distribute the films in Russia.

Endeavor has signed its first such contract with Anna Melikian, whose film The Mermaid received the award for best director at the Sundance Film Festival, and will open the Panorama section of the Berlin Film Festival.
