U.S. production companies Horizon Line Entertainment and March On Productions are partnering to finance and produce a slate of eight features through 2026.
The films will focus on "thrillers, women in peril, and event themes with an emphasis on female directors, writers and stars".
According to the partners, the slate includes the recently wrapped Greatest Actress in the World, starring Mena Suvari (American Beauty) and C. Thomas Howell (The Outsiders), and directed by Lara Daans.
Scheduled to film from this month will be Silent Night Fall, which has Stana Katic (Castle), Elisha Cuthbert (24) and Talia Asseraf (Off The Grid) attached, with Danny Friedman directing.
On the slate and scheduled for a February shoot is Key To Freedom from writer-director Damian Lee with an attached cast of Denise Richards (The World Is Not Enough), C. Thomas Howell, Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy) and Patrick Muldoon (Marlowe).
Also in the works are projects No Free Lunch, written by Jacques Frederick and Jeff Kazanian; Satisfaction, written by Dana Fradkin and Kate Cassidy; The Trout Fisher, written by Jay Brock; Black Friday, written by B Harrison Smith; and Cat On Hot Tin Roof, adapted by Lara Laskin.
The films will be produced by Damian Lee and Bennet De Brabandere and executive-produced by Rich Salvatore. Quiver Distribution will handle domestic sales. Red Sea Media will be handling foreign sales.
March On Productions is led by Rich Salvatore, the veteran independent producer of more than 80 features including The Comeback Trail and The Big Wedding. Horizon Line principals are Damian Lee and Bennet De Brabandere, whose features as producer, writer or director include Ski School, National Lampoon's Last Resort, A Dark Truth, Hearts of War and A Fighting Man.
Shooting on the slate will take place in Hamilton, Ontario, with local partner Russ De Jong's North Film Company. Post-production, supervised by Darren Bell, will take place at Rolling Pictures Company in Toronto, which is headed up by George Levai and Michael Forsey.
