‘Christmas Overtime:’ Holiday Rom-Com Lands North American Deal Out Of Cannes Market

EXCLUSIVE: ITN Distribution has picked up the holiday rom-com Christmas Overtime starring Meghan Carrasquillo, Adam Brudnicki, and Jadon Cal for North America.

The deal was hashed out here in Cannes. Premiere Entertainment CEO Elias Axume negotiated on behalf of the production with Stuart Alson of ITN.

The film follows an unemployed actress (Carrasquillo), who is offered a commercial by a lonely advertising executive (Brudnicki) on the condition that she convinces his staff to work on Christmas Eve to meet an important deadline.

Ann Deborah Fishman directed the film and co-wrote the screenplay with Simon K. Parker. Fishman produced the film for Night Dove Pictures. Also starring are Chris Moss, Christine Allocca, Laura Ault, and Osmara Rojas. Producers are Fishman and Sommer. Premiere is selling the remaining international territories at the Cannes Market, which ends today.

LA-based Premiere is a production, financing, and sales company. Premiere most recently acquired the family comedy F Plus starring Randy Couture and Jennifer Esposito; rom-com Plan B starring Jon Heder; action superhero Sri Asih released on Disney+ in Asia; murder mystery What Remains starring Kellan Lutz and Anne Heche; and Paul Schrader’s There Are No Saints.
