Neon has brought on former head of Metrograph Pictures David Laub as SVP of marketing and publicity.

Laub will work closely with Neon’s president of global cinema Ryan Werner, whose own hire was announced during Cannes.

At Metrograph, Laub acquired and released such films as India Donaldson’s Good One, Sandhya Suri’s Cannes selection Santosh, and Venice prize-winner April by Dea Kulumbegashvilli.

His departure raises questions about Metrograph’s status. Metrograph had not responded for a comment at time of writing.

Prior to that he served more than eight years at A24 working in marketing, publicity, acquisitions, and exhibition.

Werner praised Laub’s “tremendous passion for film”, adding: “Finding someone as strategic, curious and experienced was important to me.”
