The French export company Other Angle Pictures organized the fourth French Comedy Club in Los Angeles on April 27 and 28, which offered four French comedies to Californian audiences.
The international sales company, spécializing in comedies, Other Angle Pictures, directed by Olivier Albou and Laurence Schonberg, is behind The French Comedy Club, a two-day mini-festival of French comedies in the USA, launched in 2022, took place in a Los Angeles movie theater.
Albou and Schonberg's starting point was the observation that French comedies are hardly ever shown at festivals, and distributed even less in the United States, apart from on platforms.
Hence the decision to present again this year, on April 27 and 28 at the Lumiere Cinema in Beverly Hills, to Los Angeles film professionals (buyers, agents, producers) as well as the general public, four French comedy hits of recent months, with the aim of generating business around French comedies in general. These films are being sold by various sales agents.
The four films featuring this year:
- Open Season by Frédéric Forestier & Antonin Fourlon
- A Little Something Extra by Artus
- Oldies but Goodies by Claude Zidi Jr.
- Lucky Winners by Maxime Govare & Romain Choay
The event is supported by Unifrance and Villa Albertine.
