LOS ANGELES/TORONTO/LONDON: Entertainment One (eOne) has named Sally Caplan as the managing director of the company’s international film division.

Caplan will be based in eOne’s London office, continuing to expand the company’s international film division through new partnerships with producers, filmmakers and distributors in the U.K., European markets and worldwide. Prior to joining eOne, Caplan was the head of the Premiere Fund at the UK Film Council, which invested £8 million of National Lottery money per annum into mainstream films.
