Heading into Cannes Alexandra Cocean has rejoined Voltage Pictures as EVP international sales and distribution, effective immediately.
Cocean becomes a senior member of the company’s international sales executive team covering Voltage Pictures’ robust film slate. She will report directly to president and COO Jonathan Deckter who made the announcement on Thursday morning (April 14).
The Los Angeles-based company’s Croisette sales slate includes upcoming action thriller Last Seen Alive starring Gerard Butler, Jaimie Alexander and Russell Hornsby, and political biopic Reagan with Dennis Quaid, Penelope Ann Miller and John Voight.
Voltage recently wrapped production on Roger Kumble’s (After We Collided, Cruel Intentions) YA adaption of Beautiful Disaster starring Dylan Sprouse, Virginia Gardner, Austin North and Libe Barer and represents worldwide rights.
The company has been expanding its executive sales team to accommodate a growing sales slate. Matt Bamford was appointed international sales manager last August and Danielle Gasher was promoted to vice-president of international sales in December.
Cocean served as EVP international sales and distribution at Voltage Pictures from 2016-2019 and handled sales for Asia, Australia, Africa and Eastern Europe including Israel, Greece and Turkey. She was instrumental in the company’s international success on After, I Feel Pretty , Wind River, Ava, and Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile.
Most recently Cocean served as international sales consultant for Blue Fox Entertainment, Myriad Pictures and Solstice Studios. Prior to her first stint at Voltage in 2016 she was vice-president of international sales at Lightning Entertainment from 2009-2016.
“Nic [Chartier] and I couldn’t be happier to welcome Alexandra home,” said Deckter. “She is an incredible salesperson in her ability to connect with people and get the job done. We’re thrilled to have her back on the team, to continue to excel in all that she does.”
Cocean added, “I am very excited to rejoin Nic and Jonathan, and the brilliant team here at Voltage. Looking forward to contributing to the company’s continued success, focusing on the YA content, and working alongside titans of our industry. Full circle!”
