The Last Mercenary <\/em>to Netflix, which then went on to clock up 5 million views between them.<\/p>\n\n\t\u201cThere is an audience for those films in the U.S. They\u2019re just never distributed theatrically because U.S. distributors are more interested in arthouse or genre films,\u201d says Albou. <\/p>\n
\n\tThe Comedy Club screenings feed into Albou and Schonberg\u2019s bigger U.S. ambitions to interrupt into the U.S., with a deal with remake actions and bringing their European movie gross sales information to bear within the U.S. indie market.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe want to position ourselves as producers or executive producers, which makes it much more interesting that just selling the films,\u201d says Albou. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe think we\u2019re in a good position to acquire French material which we then set up in the U.S. There\u2019s a great need to content now that the strike is over, and projects can finally move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAlbou says they’ve discovered useful classes in regards to the financing of English-language initiatives throughout their time in L.A.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s different from France, where it\u2019s more reliant on pre-sales to TV. There\u2019s no such thing for independent films in the U.S., which rely instead on foreign pre-sales, equity investors, tax rebates and gap financing,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n
\n\tAlbou and Schonberg need to fuse their information of worldwide gross sales and distribution with the U.S. methods of financing.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe think this will help to grow our business into more the international projects that we need to go beyond our French boutique operation.\u201d<\/p>\n
