Simple House Films Launches Int’l Sales Unit With Adam Green’s Survival Thriller ‘The Ascent’ – EFM

EXCLUSIVE: Addam Bramich, Ryan Hamilton and Volodymyr Artemenko’s production banner Simple House Films is launching an international sales arm at the EFM.

The new division is headed by Anastazja Bankowska, who recently served as Global Sales Executive at Kino Swiat, the leading Polish distributor and Canal+ Group subsidiary, and had held senior positions overseeing international sales at broadcasting, production, and distribution companies for the last two decades.

The first title on her slate is survival thriller The Ascent by director Adam Green (Frozen, Hatchet franchise). The picture follows a group of friends who arrive in Europe for a glamorous but daring destination wedding.

The fun and games turn into a nightmare when they find themselves precariously suspended above shark infested waters and in a battle for survival. “We are thrilled to have a platform to produce and deliver important stories to audiences and work with talented and creative individuals across the industry,” said Artemenko. “We are thrilled at the opportunity to launch an international sales unit into the marketplace and work alongside Anastazja Bankowska with the goal of delivering high quality theatrical films to the marketplace’s global audience.” Simple House Films launched last year as an international independent production company, dedicated to developing and producing diverse films, and being a platform for diverse stories and voices.
