Eddy-Grouf said, “I am thrilled to contribute to Studiocanal’s ambitions in the U.S., and expand upon the exceptional strategic growth they have experienced under Olivier Courson and Ron Halpern’s leadership. They are making high quality, skillfully produced films, which benefit from an extraordinary international distribution and sales network.”
Halpern said, “I am so happy to welcome Shana. She has such great talent relationships in Los Angeles and elsewhere and a perfect understanding of the types of film Studiocanal would like to make. She is a great addition to Studiocanal. It’s really important to have someone in Los Angeles for testing a movie, to be part of the creative process, to be able to call a producer and say: ‘Let’s meet and try to push this project forward.’”
