David Lipper’s LA-based Latigo Films and Edward Noeltner’s Cinema Management Group (CMG) have struck an international sales alliance led by new action thriller Hunt Club starring Mena Suvari, Mickey Rourke and Casper van Dien.
Noeltner will commence sales at TIFF on Hunt Club as well as other films on the Latigo slate: horror thriller Wolf Mountain starring Danny Trejo, Tobin Bell and Cuban singer and Instagram personality Malu Trevejo, and rom-com My Favorite Girlfriend starring Bonnie Piesse and Tyler Johnson that Saban Films released recently in the US.
Noeltner has set TIFF market premiere screenings for Hunt Club and Wolf Mountain.
Founded by Canadian actor, producer and director Lipper and philanthropist Robert A. Daly Jr., Latigo Films focuses on development and production of action and thriller features, with some rom-coms.
Elizabeth Blake-Thomas (Just Swipe) directed Hunt Club from a script by Lipper and John Saunders. The film follows a mother in search of her missing teenage daughter who joins a group of local men on a hunt for a chance to win $100,000 – only to realise she is the prey and other young women on the island are the moving targets.
Lipper directed Wolf Mountain from a screenplay by Keli Price, who also stars in the story about a man beset by visions of his parents’ tragic death who goes with his brother and his family to the place where they were killed. There they discover something is stalking them on the mountain.
Latigo Films and 13 Curves production My Favorite Girlfriend is written and directed by Amanda Raymond (You Are My Home) and centres on a love story between Conrad and Molly who try to find which of Molly’s multiple personalities is the real her.
CMG president Noeltner negotiated the deal with Lipper and said, ”Meeting the charismatic David Lipper and then seeing the excellent commercial features he has produced and co-produced over the past year, gave CMG a wonderful package of three new films to introduce to buyers in Toronto and around the world.”
Lipper added, “We are truly excited to be going to Toronto and screening Hunt Club and Wolf Mountain and to be working with Edward’s well established international sales company and team of professionals. With CMG’s vast and longstanding relationships with blue-chip international distributors we are looking forward to our films being in good hands around the globe.”
