Linda Saetre, who headed the New York-based sales arm of Bonne Pioche and led the company's 2006 Oscar campaign for March Of The Penguins, has launched her new company Saetre Film.
Saetre will continue to co-produce with Bonne Pioche and serve as their salesperson for documentaries and TV programmes on a project-by-project basis through her new company.
She will focus on US-driven projects and is currently serving as salesperson and executive producer on two Bonne Pioche documentaries.
On The Trail Of The Fox is the companion piece to Luc Jacquet's The Fox And The Child feature that will be released in the US through Picturehouse, and Waste: The Nuclear Nightmare is being put together in association with the Sundance Channel.
Saetre, who will attend Cannes to discuss a new feature about serial killers, recently found festival acclaim with Parvez Sharma's gay muslim expose A Jihad For Love, on which she served as executive producer. The film premiered at Toronto last year and will go on release in the US through First Run Features this spring.
She is also co-producing Freedom Station with Prodigo Films of Sao Paulo, Brazil - the first contemporary Brazilian film to address the large Japanese population in Brazil. The director is Caito Ortiz from Sao Paulo.
