Info

Ovie Entertainment is a feature film company located in New York City, founded and managed by five creative producers. The best of world cinema, of Hollywood, and of the independents inspires us to create original movies and other media collaborations. Ovie has two simple objectives: to provide the market with high quality content that is cutting-edge and commercially viable, and to create a child-through-adult franchise that recognizes and requests the Ovie brand. We are dedicated to achieving these objectives by aggressively pursuing new and established artistic talent from around the world, by creating a warm, enthusiastic and collaborative environment, and by setting the professional bar high for all our productions. Ovie Entertainment recently co-produced and executive produced the feature documentary Darkon, directed by Andrew Neel and Luke Meyer, scheduled to world premiere in competition at SXSW 2006 in March. Darkon also joins a competitive program of the year's finest documentaries at the 2006 Hot Docs International Documentary Festival in April and May. Ovie is currently co-producing, for both the European and American markets, the screen adaptation of The Funeral Party, a novel by Russian Booker Prize-winning author, Ludmila Ulitskaya. The Funeral Party, a black comedy, is scheduled to begin principal photography in New York City during summer 2006. Upcoming feature films in Ovie's first slate of productions are the screen adaptation of Guggenheim Award-winner Peter Cameron's acclaimed novel, Andorra, a psychological thriller with a perversely comic edge, and, from Nicholl Fellowship quarterfinalist Katherine W. Miller, Frog Juice, a colorful, kid-friendly family film.
