Based in Los Angeles at Gaumont\u2019s U.S. headquarters, Byer will work closely with Paris-based Cecile Gaget, Gaumont\u2019s head of international production, and Los Angeles-based Adam Fishbach, the senior VP of creative affairs. Byer most recently served as VP of development at Working Title Films.<\/p>\n<p>The first four projects currently slated for priority development are <em>Train to Busan<\/em>,<em> Point Blank<\/em>,<em> Dead Tired<\/em> and <em>Barbarella<\/em>. Gaumont originally unveiled <em>Barbarella<\/em> as a television project. It will now be moving from Gaumont\u2019s television division to be reimagined as a feature film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe creation of this division, with four top-notch projects already on the slate, fits perfectly into Gaumont\u2019s ambition to expand our global footprint with English-language movies, tapping into the network of talent and producers we have established these past few years in the U.S.,\u201d commented Sidonie Dumas, the CEO of Gaumont. \u201cWe are delighted to be adding Johanna to the Gaumont team. Her entrepreneurial spirit is refreshing and it\u2019s clear by her optimism and drive that she will be a trailblazer for the next generation of Hollywood.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PARIS\/LOS ANGELES: Gaumont has established a U.S. feature-film division, naming Johanna Byer to the newly created position of VP of creative affairs to oversee the unit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":7705,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1185],"class_list":["post-7704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-gaumont"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Gaumont Sets Up U.S. Feature Film Unit - TVUSA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"PARIS\/LOS ANGELES: Gaumont has established a U.S. feature-film division, naming Johanna Byer to the newly created position of VP of creative affairs to oversee the unit.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/gaumont-sets-up-u-s-feature-film-unit\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Gaumont Sets Up U.S. Feature Film Unit - TVUSA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"PARIS\/LOS ANGELES: Gaumont has established a U.S. feature-film division, naming Johanna Byer to the newly created position of VP of creative affairs to oversee the unit.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/gaumont-sets-up-u-s-feature-film-unit\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVUSA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-02-02T17:02:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2017-02-02T18:52:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2015\/09\/JohannaByer-Gaumont-217.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/gaumont-sets-up-u-s-feature-film-unit\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/gaumont-sets-up-u-s-feature-film-unit\/\",\"name\":\"Gaumont Sets Up U.S. Feature Film Unit - TVUSA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-02-02T17:02:20+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2017-02-02T18:52:56+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"description\":\"PARIS\/LOS ANGELES: Gaumont has established a U.S. feature-film division, naming Johanna Byer to the newly created position of VP of creative affairs to oversee the unit.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/gaumont-sets-up-u-s-feature-film-unit\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/gaumont-sets-up-u-s-feature-film-unit\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/gaumont-sets-up-u-s-feature-film-unit\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Gaumont Sets Up U.S. Feature Film Unit\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/\",\"name\":\"TVUSA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
