MultiVisionnaire Pictures News

Getting geared up for Cannes, MultiVisionnaire is attending with an exciting new lineup of world premieres.

Youth comedy “DEATH TO PROM“, the prom committee president is determined to destroy prom, but with an evolving love triangle between him, his BFF and a handsome soccer player, this high fashion high school drama has enough glamour and attitude for “Project Runway” and enough heart to make Molly Ringwald bite her lip with anticipation.

“FINDING LOVE IN ALASKA”, starring Antoinette Kalaj (Riddick, Don Jon), Jonathan Bennet (Mean Girls, Van Wilder), Mischa Barton (The OC, The Sixth Sense) and Billy Zane, is a love story of a man who meets the love of his life while he escapes his life to the magnificent Alaska.

“DECADENCIA (Decadence)“ — an erotic arthouse perfect for world cinema arthouse buyers. A rare Latin cinema gem from the next-gen Mexican director Joaquin Rodriguez, it is comparable to Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut” and the upcomming “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Currently in post production with theatrical release in 2015.

Additionally, MultiVisionnaire has two debut features in post production available for territories –Sci-Fi Action “RZ-9” and creature feature “FRESHWATER” will also have their first-look footage at Cannes.

MultiVisionnaire will be located in Riviera D2 at Cannes/ Marche du Film from May 14 to May 21. If interested to coordinating meetings, please email market@multivisionnaire.com.
