New deal brings Scandinavian global film production player together with leading Swedish independent.
Scandinavian film producer and distributor Svensk Filmindustri has entered a three-year deal with Swedish independent production company StellaNova Film and producer Lena Rehnberg. The deal includes all rights for the StellaNova new slate of films during the time period.
Lena Rehnberg and StellaNova Film have produced some of the most successful feature films in Sweden during the last five years, including the 2013 biopic and box-office hit Waltz for Monica.
"Lena Rehnberg and StellaNova Film are a very strong force within the Swedish independent film production community and we are thrilled to have her as a partner," says Jonas Fors, CEO for Svensk Filmindustri. "Her films have an undisputed track-record at the Swedish box-office, so it is of course very exciting to represent her films locally and on the international market. We couldn’t be happier."
The first film included in the deal to premiere is the romantic comedy Love is a Drug. The film stars Izabella Scorupco and is planned for a Christmas 2014 theatrical release in Sweden.
