French export company Other Angle Pictures is organizing its 5th French Comedy Club in Los Angeles on April 26 and 27, proposing six recent French comedies to Californian moviergoers.
An international sales company specializing in comedy, Other Angle Pictures, headed by Olivier Albou and Laurence Schonberg, is behind The French Comedy Club, a mini-festival of French comedies in the USA launched in 2022, which takes place over two days in a Los Angeles cinema. The format arose from the realization that French comedies are almost never shown at festivals, and are distributed even less in the U.S., apart from on certain platforms.
Hence the decision to once again present six recent films (compared to four last year) on April 26 and 27, at the Lumiere Cinema in Beverly Hills, to Los Angeles film professionals (buyers, agents, producers) as well as to the general public. The aim is to generate business around French comedies in general. The films are being handled by various sales agents.
The six films presented this year:
- God Save the Tuches by Jean-Paul Rouve
- With or Without Kids by Elsa Blayau
- How to Make a Killing by Franck Dubosc
- Natacha (Almost) Air Hostess by Noémie Saglio
- Guess Who's Calling! by Fabienne Godet
- 100 Million by Nath Dumont
