Oscar winning actress Jennifer Lawrence has joined the club of actors taking a further step in the film-making fraternity, as she has launched her production company Excellent Cadaver with producing partner Justine Polsky.
The company will produce series of films and documentaries made of fictional or real life storytelling for its content, mostly with Lawrence starring in it and also serving as a producer behind the cameras.
The production company is already gearing up to make a debut in film as Jennifer and Justine have inked a first-look film deal with Brad Weston’s 1-year-old distributing and marketing company, Makeready. Under the agreement, Makeready will have a first look at the film projects Excellent Cadaver will develop and produce. The finances of the first projects will be financed and produced by Makeready and Excellent Cadaver.
Speaking about the newly signed deal with Jennifer, Mkaeready’s head of film Pam Abby, who will oversee any Excellent Cadaver projects disclosed, “In a relatively short amount of time, Jennifer has already proven herself to be a one-of-a-kind actress and businesswoman. Her versatility and commitment to working with the greatest filmmakers in the industry highlights our shared ambition to create thoughtful, fearless films, and we are extremely excited to partner with Jennifer and Justine as they start this new chapter.”
“Brad and Pam are visionary producers with incredible taste and a history of supporting diverse and compelling storytelling. We are thrilled to be partnering with Makeready and look forward to this exciting collaboration,” added Lawrence and Polsky.
