CANNES: Mission Pictures International has carved a niche for itself in the market as a leading supplier of high-quality family and faith-based entertainment.

 

The company is looking to continue its success in these genres by closing new sales for titles such as October Baby, a family drama film. The story features a college freshman whose world is shaken up when she learns that she is the adopted survivor of an attempted abortion. John Schneider and Rachel Hendrix star. Kevin Sorbo and Teri Polo lead the cast of another Mission Pictures family drama, Angel Next Door. “October Baby and Angel Next Door are great family movies that fit the afternoon time slots, and there are not enough programs that fit that area right now,” says Chevonne O’Shaughnessy, the company’s co-founder and president.
 
In the same genre, Last Ounce of Courage is a heartwarming movie that tells the story of a local war hero whose son goes off to war. “Last Ounce of Courage was released theatrically…and has garnered great success thus far,” says O’Shaughnessy.
