Industry veteran Nick Donnermeyer has left Bleiberg Entertainment after 16 years to head up sales at Yale Entertainment’s new sales venture Great Escape.
Yale’s Jordan Yale Levine and Jordan Beckerman announced the news on Thursday (January 20) and said Great Escape will represent in-house titles and third-party content. Further details on the strategy will emerge during the online EFM.
Great Escape will reside under the Yale Entertainment umbrella alongside Yale Productions. Donnermeyer, who serves as president of Great Escape, said Yale’s output over the last two years was “unmatched”.
The group recently formed Lafayette Pictures with director-actor Katie Holmes and has wrapped two features which Holmes directed and starred in – Alone Together starring Jim Sturgess and Melissa Leo, and Rare Objects with Derek Luke and Alan Cumming.
Yale’s recently completed productions include Banshee with Antonio Banderas; Panama starring Cole Hauser and Mel Gibson; High Heat starring Olga Kurylenko and Don Johnson; and Mayim Bialik’s As Sick As They Made Us with Dianna Agron and Dustin Hoffman.
At Bleiberg Donnermeyer most recently served as president of international film sales and oversaw the acquisition of more than 100 titles. He is an executive producer on the upcoming Liam Neeson thriller In The Land Of Saints And Sinners and earlier credits include The Iceman with Michael Shannon, Winona Ryder and Chris Evans.
