It’s crucial to find the right distributor for your film.  Having been to the film markets before, I was intrigued by the idea of an online film marketplace that could be accessed by buyers anytime, from anywhere in the world; so I decided to give Cinesouq a try with our film “Shooting April”.

Within months we had a deal in the works with a great distributor who loved our film and really wanted to get behind it.  They licensed Shooting April for all of North America and Japan, and we now have a DVD and broadcast VOD launch coming in early 2011.

Cinesouq was a valuable partner throughout the process. They did everything they said would do, and a lot more on top of that.  I’d go with them again in a second.

producer : MIMI LESSEOS
writer : MIMI LESSEOS AND WAYNE BAUER
editor : STEVE NIELSON
director of photography : BODO HOLST

Action, Romantic Comedy

After devoting her life to the Marine Corp. as a top notch warrior, Major M.J Logos (Mimi Lesseos) feels that something is missing. She wants to know what it’s like to be a regular woman. She leaves the Marine corp. and tries to start life again as a civilian. But she keeps being pulled back into combat in one way or another, having to fight her way to save her friend Sophia (Susan Duerden) from being ripped off in an evil plot by Sophia’s assistant ( Alfonso Freeman). During her adventures, Mimi meets Craig (Tom Sizemore), a handsome man who is maybe just a little too in touch with his feminine side. Heck let’s face it, Mimi thinks he’s gay. And Craig thinks M.J is just a little too much like a man. Between the two of them. M.J must learn to be more of a woman, and Craig must be more of a man.

This Action, Romantic Comedy  -  Both Sizemore and Lesseos are a pair of  hilarious dynamic duo that keeps us laughing as well as touches our hearts.

The Living Wake

cast : Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network / Zombieland / Adventureland / The Squid and the Whale), Mike O’Connell

director : Sol Tryon

Director Sol Tryon’s critically acclaimed debut feature is a timeless fairytale with a biting sense of humor. When self-proclaimed genius K. Roth Binew (Mike O’Connell, Funny People) learns his life will be cut short by a grave but unnamed illness, he decides to go out in style-with a living wake. Accompanied by his faithful assistant Mills (Jesse Eisenberg, Zombieland), K Roth spends his scheduled final day on earth revisiting all the people who touched his life – from the village prostitute, to his estranged mother – in order toinvite them to his grand finale.

Guaranteed to be a cult classic, The Living wake plays out like a combination of Monty Python’s absurdist humor and Wes Anderson’s delicate styling. What unfolds onscreen is a clever, whimsical fable about the nature of death.

MMA Worldwide TV Series (2010)

Mixed martial arts is a young sport where things continue to happen that signify change. But it is the only professional sport where fans can really connect with the fighters, often times having a beer with them after the fights if they happen to be at the same bar. The humbling experience that got many of these fighters to where they are today is the same reason they stop and take pictures, sign autographs and don’t leave fans waiting. Fighters like Chuck Liddell, BJ Penn, Quinton Jackson and Gina Carano are far more than just household names; they are superstars that people follow religiously through guest appearances, movies, TV shows, videogames and mass merchandising. And though the UFC is often-times the only promotion synonymous with MMA in the hearts of new fans, it’s important to recognize the grassroots movement, the regional promoters like Sven Bean, Monte Cox and Terry Trebilcock and the MMA media (on and off the Internet) that has worked so tirelessly to keep fans connected. There are local MMA events to be found in almost every state and the local fighters who make $1,000 could be the world champions making over a million in a few years. The evolution of MMA as a sport was a fight in itself. Now it is up to you to carry on that torch by educating people on why mixed martial arts is the greatest sport of a new generation.
