Exclusive: British producer Miriam Segal of Good Films has secured backing from Bank Leumi for her slate of seven new features.
Bank Leumi is providing debt financing that can help cover the “lion’s share” of the costs of the films, with budgets ranging from $12-$40m.
As previously announced, the first film into production will be the $28m The Infiltrator starring Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston alongside John Leguizamo.
Brad Furman is directing the film, which Relativity will be presenting to buyers at the Afm (Nov 5-12).
The Infiltrator, which will shoot in London, Paris and Florida, is based on Robert Mazur’s book about his experiences infiltrating the criminal hierarchy of Colombia’s drug cartels.
Tanovic to direct Invisible
Good Films has also confirmed that Oscar winner Danis Tanovic (No Man’s Land) is to direct Invisible, scripted by Croatian playwright Tena Stivicic about the plight of immigrants in Britain.

The 27th annual Images Festival, which was held in Toronto on April 10-19, has announced their award winners. Ten awards were given out to both seasoned filmmakers, as well as several student awards. The festival jury consisted of Shai Heredia, Heather Keung and Roxanne Sayegh.
One of the big winners was Brett Kashmere, who won the Deluxe Cinematic Vision Award for his basketball documentary From Deep. This win for Kashmere comes hot on the heels of his publishing the acclaimed fourth issue of Incite! Journal of Experimental Cinema, so it’s been a great couple of this fantastically talented filmmaker and underground film historian.
Other big winners of the festival include Benjamin Pearson, who won the prestigious Images Prize for his experimental narrative Former Models; Brigid McCaffrey, who won the Marion McMahon Award for her film Paradise Springs; and student filmmakers Jacob Robinson and Kelvin Brown from the Royal College...
