The Exchange is handling world sales on American Siege. Shout Factory will handle U.S. distribution. The Exchange is also handling sales on Apex, which will be released domestically by RLJ Entertainment.
“Arcana has been a company that has done everything ‘farm to fork’ and it’s been a different experience only handling the financing and production of these movies with our partners,” said CEO Sean O’Reilly. “Producing movies with Bruce Willis is one of those bucket-list opportunities, and this shows our capabilities into action feature films and marks a new and exciting opportunity for Arcana Studio.”
“We’ve worked with Arcana and Sean for a number of years on both animation projects and now live action films alike,” added BondIt Media Capital CEO Matthew Helderman. “We’re excited to continue building out our Canadian partnership as we gear up for a big 2021 together in Vancouver.”
