EXCLUSIVE: Ahead of this year’s Cannes Film Festival and market, indie distributor Good Deed Entertainment (GDE) has launched an international sales division.

GDE’s Executive Vice President of Acquisitions Erik Donley will be leading the unit, alongside Executive Vice President of Production and Distribution Andy Myers and Head of Sales Marco DiSilvio.

GDE says it currently has 30 films available for worldwide distribution. In addition to selling acquired titles, the company will also work with their own original productions, via their fledgling production division led by Head of Production Phil Garrett.

First on deck is filmmaker Quinn Armstrong’s Fresh Hell film series, produced by Myers and Garrett. Fresh Hell is a three-feature film anthology series from writer-director Quinn Armstrong (Survival Skills) and will be released under GDE’s genre film label, Cranked Up Films, which has included the titles Extra Ordinary and Nightmare Cinema. “Expanding our reach into the international market seemed like the natural progression for Good Deed,” says Donley. “My daily conversations with filmmakers expressing their desire to reach the widest audience possible made me realize we have the capacity to turn these wants into a reality.
