Cannes 2009 Producer’s Patch: Kimmel International

Date:

Producer's Patch IONCINEMA.com

They championed such cinematic wonders as Synecdoche, New York and Lars and the Real Girl, but the truth is: the market has changed and we might see the company being more selective and that is why Sidney Kimmel Entertainment’s Kimmel International can get behind more fair by aligning their troupes with other indie producers. Kimmel are coming to Cannes loaded with several items that I’ll be on the look out for 2009/10 such as the new Natalie Portman indie film Hesher, Mark Ruffalo‘s Sympathy for Delicious and the New York shot Paper Man from directors Michele and Kieran Mulroney (starring Lisa Kudrow, Jeff Daniels and Ryan Reynolds).
