A version of this story about the Cannes market first appeared in Cannes issue of TheWrap magazine.
Saying last year’s Cannes was a return to normal might have been a misnomer. Sure, Covid was manageable and people were able to gather in person without the mandatory testing of previous years, but the transition from almost two years of isolation back to travel was a slow one. “Even though last year was a pretty robust market, there were still the remnants of Covid and certain territories not traveling,” said Dylan Leiner, Sony Pictures Classics’ EVP of acquisitions and production.
For many traveling to France in May, this year’s festival may finally be the return to normal that people are hoping for. “This may be one of the largest, most attended markets we’ve ever seen for Cannes,” said Jason Buckley, EVP of worldwide sales and distribution for Village Roadshow Entertainment Group,...

Lakeshore Entertainment is moving ahead with its production ambitions following a deal with Vine Alternative Investments Group that will see the parties co-finance 12 upcoming Lakeshore features.
Laura Austin-Little, the newly appointed head of international sales and acquisitions who arrived from Annapurna International, will oversee sales with svp of international sales Jason Buckley.
The move means Lakeshore will phase out its long collaboration with Sierra/Affinity, although the latter will continue to handle existing titles like The Age Of Adaline, the Blake Lively starrer that Lionsgate will open in the Us on April 25.
The co-financing pact expands Lakeshore CEO Tom Rosenberg’s (pictured) relationship with Vine, the New York-based asset management firm that has invested in Lakeshore’s capital structure for a number of years.
Lakeshore will continue to finance production and distribution, including Us P&A on its film slate, via its credit facility led by JPMorgan Chase Bank.
“Vine is a highly respected financial institution and they...
