Over 40 Years of Excellence in Film Production & Sales

CHAIRMAN & CEO

A key figure in international independent cinema, Ehud Bleiberg has produced more than 60 films over the past four decades. Bleiberg’s extensive management and creative background have allowed him to develop, finance, and produce films that run the gamut in terms of budget and genre.

Bleiberg produced the Liam Neeson and Kerry Condon action thriller In the Land of Saints and Sinners, directed by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Robert Lorenz (The Marksman). The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was released by Samuel Goldwyn. He also produced director Avi Nesher’s epic Image of Victory, the largest ever local Israeli production.

Bleiberg was the producer of the hit thriller The Iceman, starring Michael Shannon, Chris Evans, Winona Ryder, Ray Liotta, and James Franco, and directed by Ariel Vromen. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival, followed by screenings at the Toronto and Telluride Film Festivals. Upon its U.S. release, it opened #1 at the specialty box office.

Bleiberg also produced the international hit The Band’s Visit, which won more than 40 awards, including the Coup de Cœur at the Cannes Film Festival, and was later adapted into a Broadway musical that went on to win ten Tony Awards. This was followed by Adam Resurrected, directed by legendary filmmaker Paul Schrader and starring Oscar® nominees Jeff Goldblum and Willem Dafoe; the Toronto International Film Festival selection The Assassin Next Door starring Olga Kurylenko; and the documentary Precious Life, which premiered at the Telluride and Toronto Film Festivals to rave reviews and was shortlisted for that year’s Academy Awards®. In 2013, Bleiberg won a Czech Film Academy Award for producing the film noir In the Shadow, which was also the official Czech entry for the Oscars®.

Other productions include the 2017 Venice Film Festival selection The Cousin, a biting comedy from director Tzahi Grad; documentary Foreign Land, which won Best Documentary at the Haifa International Film Festival; the critically lauded Scott Adkins action thriller Avengement; the comedic crime caper Hunting Elephants starring Sir Patrick Stewart; and McCanick, a gritty cop picture starring David Morse and Cory Monteith that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Prior to arriving in the U.S., Bleiberg produced several films in his native Israel. His feature Himmo: King of Jerusalem was an official selection of the Toronto, Chicago, and Edinburgh Film Festivals and received international acclaim. Bleiberg’s next film, The Appointed, enjoyed even more success as an official selection of the Cannes Film Festival. He then came to the U.S., establishing a production company in Beverly Hills. Early notable domestic productions include The Soft Kill starring Carrie-Anne Moss; 100 Girls with Jonathan Tucker and Katherine Heigl; More Dogs Than Bones with Joe Mantegna and Oscar® winners Whoopi Goldberg, Mercedes Ruehl, and Louise Fletcher; and According to Spencer starring Jesse Bradford, Adam Goldberg, and Giovanni Ribisi.

Through the sales arm of his company, Bleiberg also focuses on the acquisition of film rights for distribution into the domestic and international marketplace, as well as the financing and production of motion pictures. They currently house a library of over 100 titles.
