Peace Arch� Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX: PAE) (TSX: PAE), an
integrated global entertainment company, today announced the
promotion of Julie Sultan to the newly created post of president,
international motion picture sales.
Sultan, executive VP since April 2007, has been tapped to lead
an expanded sales effort amid a major increase in film acquisition
activity by PAE, including obtaining international distribution
rights to the dark comedy "Nobel Son," drama "Explicit iLLS" and
thriller "Two: Thirteen." Peace Arch is showcasing the titles
during this week's American Film Market in Santa Monica, CA.
In her new role heading international film acquisitions and
sales, Sultan has announced the promotions of Suzanne Barron to
executive VP, international motion picture sales; Caroline Dubourg
to VP, international motion picture sales and business affairs; and
Nicole Jelovic to manager, international motion picture sales.
"There is no one better than Julie to lead our international
film acquisition and sales efforts, which will play an increasingly
important role in boosting our profitability," PAE COO John Flock
says. "By lowering our production output, we have been able to
focus more of our resources on economically acquiring quality films
to meet growing demand both internationally and from our own
expanding direct DVD and theatrical distribution businesses in
North America. Julie is a superb, results-oriented executive with a
stellar reputation, whose track record of success for us over the
past 18 months makes her the perfect candidate for this vital new
role."
"I am thrilled that Peace Arch has provided me with this
opportunity, and fortunate to have such a capable, highly talented
team of executives in place to promote," Sultan added. "Having
someone of Suzanne's caliber at my side is a great asset. Combined
with Caroline's business acumen and strong understanding of the
industry, as well as Nicole's first-rate sales abilities, Peace
Arch is well positioned to build on the momentum it has
established."
Sultan joined Peace Arch Entertainment as executive VP of
international film sales in April 2007 from Lakeshore
International, where she served as senior VP for seven years.
Earlier, Sultan spent five years at NBC as VP, international TV
sales, and at Playboy Entertainment Group as director of
international sales.
Barron, senior VP since joining PAE in 2004, previously was an
international sales consultant for four years at HBO Enterprises
and five years at Playboy Entertainment Group.
Dubourg, who started at PAE in April 2007, spent the previous
seven years at TF1 International. There, she was responsible for
business and legal affairs for international licensing deals,
acquisitions and international coproduction for both U.S. and
foreign-language films. She started her business affairs career at
Gaumont in film and TV production.
Jelovic joined PAE in 2007 as a film festival coordinator. Other
roles include serving as director of development at independent
production company Booya Studios and production assistant on the
documentary feature "Voices of Iraq."
