AFM Spotlight: Breakthrough Entertainment

SANTA MONICA: At the American Film Market, Breakthrough Entertainment is launching the market premiere of a trio of movie titles.

Directed by the award-winning filmmaker Jerry Ciccoritti, The Resurrection of Tony Gitone follows the life of a young Canadian actor who moves back home after living in Hollywood. “This movie reminds me so much of Big Night, which was a classic film about friendship, life and family,” says Marina Cordoni, the company’s VP of movies.

Breakthrough is also showcasing at the market Please Kill Mr Know It All, which screened at the Montreal World Film Festival. “It’s a comedy about a hit man falling in love,” notes Cordoni, “perfect for all audiences, with its Hollywood production style and feel-good ending.”

Rounding out the company’s slate is Unlucky, another Montreal World Film Festival title. This comedy tells the story of an unlucky man who happens to be employed by a lottery company.
