Producing and selling films worldwide since 2008.
Other Angle Pictures is a boutique world sales agent, launched 15 years ago by Laurence Schonberg and Olivier Albou. It handles about 10 films a year, most of them being French, and most of the French films being comedies because we like comedies, and we like to see them travel so that people can laugh around the world.
That being said, we tend to diversify into different genres, such as Arthouse films, English language films, Thrillers, Documentaries, basically we will look at any material but we only pick up films that we like, and that we know we can sell.
Being producers as well, we can also build international co-productions and bring some financing to the movies. After two years of Covid, we look forward to seeing our friends and buyers again in the real world and audiences going back to the movies with even more desire than before.
