Blake Northfield, Managing Director and co-founder of Bronte Pictures said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to take these Australian titles and give them an international platform through this deal with Archstone Entertainment. These three films are all so unique and special; it’s a privilege to have professionals of the caliber of Jack Sheehan and the team at Archstone handling worldwide sales on their behalf.”

Jack Sheehan, President of Worldwide Sales and Development at Archstone, added: “Blake has been not only a good friend at the markets for years, but a creative, risk-taking filmmaker and savvy entrepreneur I’ve been dying to partner with – to do so with such a major splash as a three-picture deal covering these diverse yet equally riveting and fun films, is a dream come true”.

Bronte Pictures’ current slate includes nine features, three of which are in post production (including a Greek-language film shot in Athens) and one of which is in pre-production.

Archstone Entertainment recently produced actioner The Best Man starring Luke Wilson and Dolph Lundgren, which Saban Films will release early summer. They also recently released The Hyperions, the superhero comedy starring Cary Elwes and Penelope Mitchell.
