Prescreen Launches with Kino Lorber’s The Robber
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 09/30/2011 - 13:02.
Last month the movie marketing and distribution platform Prescreen launched. One of Prescreen’s first films will be Kino Lorber’s The Robber; a story of a champion marathoner who leads a double life as a serial bank robber, sprinting between heists and escaping from police in epic chase sequences. The question remains, can this effort succeed where others have failed? I spoke with Shawn Bercuson, Prescreen CEO and founder to find out more.
