We were recently invited to attend the Venice Production Bridge, a market that takes place during the Venice Film Festival. We are currently raising finance for our feature film MARWELL - written and directed by Benjamin Bee - so the VPB was the perfect opportunity to meet with international sales and co-production partners, interested in investing in the film.
