CDG also closed deals with AT Entertainment in Japan for its sultry drama WEBDULTRY and the horror comedy YOU CAN'T KILL STEPHEN KING. Klockworx, also from Japan, picked up PRIVACY, a cyber thriller. In addition, deals were signed for A WARRIOR'S HEART in Spain, WEBDULTRY and PRIVACY in Australia and multiple agreements are expected to close for many of the titles in UK, Germany, U.S, France, Israel, and Russia.

"Cannes was great this year," said President of Distribution Jessica Kelly. "Distributors are buying, and we have great product to sell. The screenings were filled, the response from buyers was encouraging and the sales atmosphere was very robust."

During the market, Camelot screened the NY Times Critics' Pick THE DISH AND THE SPOON, starring Greta Gerwig (Greenburg, Arthur), who, betrayed by her husband, strikes up a magical friendship with a teenage drifter; PRIVACY, a college student who hacks into a mobile phone leading him down a path of murder; National Lampoon's SNIPPED, starring Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman (The Weekend at Bernie's duo), about a guy who goes under the knife and wakes up anything but a man; THE UNDERSTUDY, a story about an unsuccessful actress who lands an understudy role that allows her talent to outshine the star; and YOU CAN'T KILL STEPHEN KING, a horror comedy based on killings straight out of Stephen King novels.
