Neon Names Cinetic’s Ryan Werner as President of Global Cinema
Veteran independent film executive Ryan Werner has been named President of Global Cinema at Oscar winning studio Neon.
Neon CEO Tom Quinn has named Wener to the newly-created role of president of global cinema, where he will lead distribution and shepherd the company’s auteur-driven slate to audiences. Neon just swept this year’s Academy Awards with five wins for Sean Baker’s “Anora,” a fairytale about a Brooklyn sex worker and the Russian oligarch’s son who takes her on a wild, emotional ride. On the ground at Cannes, Neon has Joachim Trier’s “ Sentimental Value” and Julia Ducournau’s “Alpha,” both premiering in competition, as well as Raoul Peck’s “Orwell: 2+2=5” and Michael Angelo Covino’s “Splitsville,” starring Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona.
