Red Hill Entertainment Takes "A Single Shot" to Tribeca Film Festival

/in , /by


BIRMINGHAM, AL (PRWEB) April 03, 2013

The state of Alabama and Southeastern US will be represented in this year’s Tribeca Film Festival as Alabama natives John Brooks Klingenbeck and Christopher E. Norris of Red Hill Entertainment will be on hand for the screening of their film, “A Single Shot”. Based upon Matthew F. Jone’s 1996 novel, “A Single Shot” will be a feature of the Spotlight Section of this year’s festival.

Held in the Tribeca section of Lower Manhattan, the Tribeca Film Festival is a diverse international film festival supporting emerging and established directors. With founders including Jane Rosenthal and Robert De Niro, over 1,300 films from over 80 countries have been screened since the 2002 inaugural festival.

“This is an amazing experience, and we are very excited about what is looking to be a very busy and thrilling year for us as a company,” said Red Hill Entertainment co-founder John Brooks Klingenbeck. “It’s a lot of fun when all the hard work culminates into a finished product to go in front of a live audience.”

“A Single Shot” stars Sam Rockwell, William H. Macy, Melissa Leo, and Jeffrey Wright in an emotionally charged and tense portrayal of a man outrunning an accidental crime and efforting to regain his estranged family.

For Red Hill Entertainment’s Klingenbeck, the movie marks the sixth effort as a producer to hit the silver screen, with several new films in the pipeline with release dates scheduled throughout the next two years. Red Hill’s momentum will continue in 2012 with the upcoming action film “2 Guns”, starring Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington. The company worked in an advisory role for financiers in the $ 80 million picture that was filmed in New Orleans in Summer 2012. “2 Guns” currently has a release date of August 16th this year.

Klingenbeck added, “Red Hill Entertainment is constantly looking to align itself with high-visibility film projects that can be filmed in the Southeast. It’s important for us to expose audiences to this beautiful but underutilized area of the country – in terms of film projects – which provides an authenticity to our films as well as benefits the local areas’ economies during production.”

The 2013 Tribeca Film Festival will be April 17th through the 28th in New York City. “A Single Shot” has an expected theatrical release of Fall 2013.

Elliott Broidy Brings a Voice to Homeless Youth by Scoring a Vancouver Screening for Critically Acclaimed Film Sugar

/in , /by


Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) September 26, 2013

Elliott Broidy has made further inroads to bring youth homelessness to the forefront in cities where the issue is most prominent. The movie ‘Sugar,’ for which he served as an executive producer alongside Director Rotimi Rainwater, will be screened during Homelessness Action Week in Vancouver from October 13th to 19th. Elliott Broidy, film financier, was instrumental in arranging the screening.

As an international city with a growing homeless population, Vancouver matches the profile of other cities where ‘Sugar’ has either been or will be screened. Such cities include Austin, Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles.

The value of adding Vancouver’s Homelessness Action Week to further boost the movie’s profile was noted by Elliott Broidy, who commented the venue was ideally suited for the socially relevant film, according to a press release on September 23rd. Reel Causes, a British Columbia non-profit society, helped facilitate the screening. A slew of events throughout the week will complement the showing and also shed further light on homeless issues.

‘Sugar’ is an independent film that follows the struggles of a young woman living on the streets of Venice Beach, California. The small budget film has improbably enjoyed several successes to build mounting fanfare in advance of nationwide release in November.

These accolades have included the ‘Film Heals Award’ at the prestigious Manhattan Film Festival in July and an innovative funding campaign to feed homeless youth on the crowd funding site Indiegogo.

The momentum has been welcomed by Executive Producer Elliott Broidy, who stated that films such as ‘Sugar’ deserve the opportunity to succeed, as noted in a July 13th 2013 news release about the ‘Film Heals Award’.
