"While Turtles Crossing continues to acquire and distribute filmswith wide commercial and demographic appeal, our more targeted market orregional release strategy has proven equally successful," Jackson said in astatement.

"We recognise the difficulty in getting independent films intonational theatres, and know how important it is for a film's success. Theintroduction on a smaller scale allows us the opportunity to showcase uniqueand quality films to audiences and build to wider distribution."

Jackson, who served as executive producer on Lions Gate's 2002horror hit Cabin Fever,launched Turtles Crossing in 1999 and a year later set up the internationaldistributor and sales agent Zenpix.
