Medient Studios' Subsidiary Atlas International to Distribute Hit
Dutch Documentary The New Wilderness
EFFINGHAM COUNTY, GA--(Marketwired - May 1, 2014) - Medient
Studios, Inc. (OTCQB: MDNT) ('Medient') announced today that its
subsidiary Atlas International Film GmbH ('Atlas') has acquired the
film distribution rights of the Dutch wildlife movie The New
Wilderness. Shot in state-of-the-art 4K, the documentary
grossed more than $7 Million at the Dutch box office in 2013. It
was the seventh highest grossing film finishing above hits like
Iron Man 3, The Hangover Part III, Gravity, Django
Unchained and Fast & Furious 6.
Philipp Menz, Managing Director of Atlas, said, "We are
confident that The New Wilderness will repeat its strong
performance in other territories around the world. Documentary
films are beginning to find strong audiences and we are glad to
enter this market with such a strong product."
Three years in production, with more than 600 shooting days in
the field, The New Wilderness is a spectacle, celebrating
the wildness and stark beauty of the Oostvaardersplassen -- 6,000
hectares of newly formed polder that has been transformed into one
of Europe's most dynamic and productive wetlands -- home to some of
Europe's rarest birds such as the magnificent white tailed eagle,
which hadn't been seen in the Netherlands since the Middle
Ages.
