Jump Street Films moves into multi-service strategic positioning
Jump Street Films will expand its core distribution business to act as a strategic consultant for Australian filmmakers looking to position their films in the marketplace. The service will specialize in publicity strategy for films in pre-production and production, and theatrical/ancillary campaign strategy for films in post-production.
Company director Jamie Bialkower will manage the new strand together with Diana Peters, former Vice President of Publicity for The Weinstein Company. Activity has already commenced on Richard Gray’s BLINDER, to be shot in Torquay in February.
“In this day and age when filmmakers are increasingly acting as their own distributors, and the traditional distribution structures are constantly evolving, we want to work closely with the client to formulate the best way for their film to reach viewers”, Bialkower said. “Diana and I have both worked across distribution and publicity for a number of years, in different countries, and we feel that the combined resources we can offer are very much linked and stronger together.”
Jump Street Films will also formally announce a partnership with a New York-based production company in the coming weeks.
Having recently distributed (together with Sharmill Films) Richard Gray’s SUMMER CODA, and previously developed a comprehensive national release and publicity campaign for Dean O’Flaherty’s BEAUTIFUL, on behalf of Kojo Pictures, the next release for Jump Street Films will be Mathieu Kassovitz’s REBELLION in March 2012. Past acquisitions include THE GROCER’S SON, THE ECLIPSE, A GUIDE TO RECOGNIZING YOUR SAINTS and THE KING, and together with Sharmill Films THE ITALIAN, EDEN IS WEST and COPACABANA.
