MIPCOM Spotlight: American Cinema International

CANNES: There are three feature films that form American Cinema International’s Runaway Romance collection: The Betrayal, The Revelation and The Restoration.

These are based on a three-part book series, and a U.S. channel is on board as the commissioning broadcaster. The company is also presenting A Royal Family Vacation, which marks the third in a series of movies that also includes A Royal Feast and A Royal Family Christmas. “I am super excited about all the new films we have acquired for this MIPCOM,” says Chevonne O’Shaughnessy, the president of American Cinema International.

“We have 15 new completed feature films that cover the entire spectrum of genres. We have something for everyone, from comedy to drama to even a historical epic called The Black Prince, which is a beautiful film.”

She adds, “These titles provide what the markets are missing and require.”
