Gener8Xion Entertainment, Inc. announced today it has entered into a three picture deal with Media 8 Entertainment regarding the exclusive international sales of theatrically released "Noelle" and two other soon to be identified projects.
Under the terms of the agreement, Media 8 Entertainment will handle international distribution and licensing for Gener8Xion's enchanting family drama, "Noelle", which features David Wall as writer, director and producer as well as the star lead. Wall plays Father Jonathan Keene -- a cold, impatient Catholic priest who arrives in a tiny fishing village the week before Christmas to do what he does best: shut down a dying parish. But things take an unexpected turn when he becomes entangled in the lives of the village's eccentric characters, including their beautiful librarian, the childlike priest he is displacing, and the magical experience of Mrs. Worthington's legendary Christmas Party, where everyone is welcome and anything is possible.
"Noelle," which was released in theaters nationwide in 4th quarter of 2007, was a hit among movie-goers and critics nationwide. The two other Films in the deal are scheduled to be announced later this year.
Commenting on the announcement, Matthew Crouch, Chairman and CEO of Gener8Xion Entertainment, Inc. said, "Media 8 is an aggressive international distributor and strong partner. They have a proven track record on both sides of the Entertainment business. Their ability to sell effectively into foreign markets made them a perfect fit for Gener8Xion."
Carlos D. De Mattos, President and Member of the Board of Gener8Xion added, "As the appetite for quality Family/Faith based motion pictures, documentaries and television programming grows here in the United States, other countries throughout the international community are following suit. We are beginning to see stronger demands from countries in Europe and Asia, especially countries who have much stricter protocol as it relates to censorship issues."
"Gener8Xion continues to proactively acquire more and more quality films, and is being recognized as the depot for all things family and faith driven. Gener8Xion has a close relationship with their audience and market demographic, and Media 8 is very pleased with our ongoing relationship with the Company," said Stewart Hall, President of Media 8 Entertainment.
