The new sales and acquisition label will focus entirely on films directed for, about and by women.
Octane Entertainment has launched a new sales and acquisitions division, FAB, which will focus entirely on films directed For, About and By women.
At AFM, the company will showcase the first six films under its new brand: the coming-of-age comedy Lady-Like, crime drama MDMA, the survival thriller Rust Creek, the fantasy-drama Beautiful Darkness, horror title The Ranger and the mystery thriller Silencio.
“It is no secret that not only are women disproportionally represented above-the-line but below-the-line as well,” said Kristen Bedno, director of sales and marketing at Octane, who created the FAB label. “By creating a film brand that recognizes the unique perspective that females bring to the creative process, we plan to showcase that talent and provide the international film audience with exceptional content created from a diverse female standpoint on a never-before-seen scale.”
Octane will be actively looking for titles for its new FAB label at AFM, and hopes to create a home for content “powered by the voice of female filmmakers, and those who identify as female.”
