MIPCOM Spotlight: Lightning Entertainment

CANNES: Among the new film launches from Lightning Entertainment is the romantic comedy Now Add Honey, which stars Portia de Rossi (Arrested Development) and Lucy Fry (Vampire Academy).

The story follows a suburban family whose normal life implodes when their pop-star cousin comes to stay. Britt Robertson of Under the Dome leads the cast of Ask Me Anything, a movie that Ken DuBow, Lightning’s executive VP and general manager, calls “a thought-provoking mystery.”

DuBow also highlights the horror thriller Indigenous for the market.

“MIPCOM is the launchpad for the new broadcast year, so it is one of the most important dates on our yearly schedule,” says DuBow. “We look forward to seeing our clients as well as making new connections.”
