Madrid – Spanish sales executive Vicente Canales announced Tuesday he has resigned as head of Filmax International, the overseas sales branch of mini-studio Filmax.
Carlos Rojano, director general of business will head Filmax International, with Ivan Diaz handling international sales for Filmax, backed by sales agents Eva Gutierrez and Irene Airoldi.
Canales, who declined to give specifics about his future professional plans, leaves the Barcelona-based company after 13 years, including the launch of the sales division in 1999.
“I am very grateful to Julio and Carlos Fernandez for the great opportunity they have given me all these years and for the confidence they have always shown in me. I especially value their great international film business vision,” Canales said.
Canales’ departure comes after Filmax filed for protection from creditors in March, but the company has racked up sales in the past few months on Spanish-language titles Agnosia, Kidnapped, Rec Genesis and Rec Apocolypse.
