EXCLUSIVE: Pinnacle Peak Pictures arrives at AFM with a slate led by Matthew Thayer’s completed documentary No Limbs No Limits and a US deal closed on Straight Shot starring Dolph Lundgren.
The former chronicles the life of motivational speaker Nick Vujicic, who was born without arms or legs and refused to allow his condition and family trauma to stop him from helping others. “This film is for anyone who has ever wondered if their life matters. It does,” said Vujicic. Bryce Cryier, Jens Jacob, Darren Moorman and Jason Pamer served as producers.
The US deal is with Saban Films for the skyscraper-set action thriller Straight Shot, which also stars Pinnacle Peak co-founder David A.R. White, Rachel Lee Cook and Tyrese Gibson. The film hails from Pinnacle’s commercial label Panoramic Pictures.
Pinnacle Peak Pictures and Panoramic Pictures EVP of international sales, distribution and acquisitions Ron Gell is also in talks with buyers on Daniel And The Fiery Furnace starring Mena Massoud, which opened in the North American top 10 in September and has grossed more than $8.4m through EKKL Entertainment.
Daniel And The Fiery Furnace opened recently in Indonesia through Omega on $1.3m and Heaven Content distributes in Latin America. SC Light Distribution will release in Romania on December 6, and deals have closed with Magenets for Poland, and Horizon for airlines.
Gell has licensed the completed road trip comedy She Dances led by Steve Zahn and Ethan Hawke to e-Dreams in Spain, Many More in Scandinavia, and SDG in Germany.
