Indie distributor kelencontent has launched a Los Angeles office to be headed up by former Minds Eye Entertainment exec Anne-Marie Lesiuk as VP sales and development.

Lesiuk most recently produced two feature films with Antibody Films in Los Angeles.

Before that, she was managing director of Minds Eye International and head of sales and acquisitions at Portfolio Entertainment.

Lesiuk will work with Tanya Kelen, president and executive producer of kelencontent, to create original programming for North American broadcasters, including coventures or coproductions, and secure international distribution for product across multiple platforms.

“Anne-Marie Lesiuk has a keen understanding of Canadian financing models and American coventures, as well as the international marketplace and she will be a tremendous asset to our team as we ramp up original productions and global distribution of content across all media”  Kelen said in a statement.
