German Production & Sales Outfit Augenschein Sells Minority Stake To Erfttal Film As Company Ramps Up Slate
The multi-million dollar investment is understood to be for a stake in the 20-30% range.
EXCLUSIVE: German production and sales company Augenschein, whose credits include Joseph Gordon-Levitt thriller 7500(pictured) and Anna Kendrick sci-fi Stowaway, has sold a minority stake to Erfttal Film, the longtime shareholder in All Quiet On The Western Front producer Amusement Park. Under the pact, Augenschein will continue to operate independently but the investment gives the company greater ability to develop, package and produce movies with stronger commercial potential for the global market, not least due to an increased credit line. Shooting this month is The Fisherwoman, the action-thriller from director Brian Kirk ( 21 Bridges), starring two-time Oscar winner Emma Thompson, and also on the slate is Benedict Cumberbatch starrer Morning.
