Quiver Distribution is the new distribution entity launched by passionate film industry entrepreneurs Berry Meyerowitz and Jeff Sackman. Quiver’s mandate is to collaborate with content creators to source and exploit commercial films in the U.S., Canada and International markets.

 Endless follows love struck high school graduates Riley (Alexandra Shipp) and Chris (Nicholas Hamilton).  When they are separated by a tragic car accident, Riley blames herself for her boyfriend’s death while Chris is stranded in limbo. Miraculously, the two find a way to connect. In a love story that transcends life and death, both Riley and Chris are forced to learn the hardest lesson of all: letting go.

 Gabriela Bacher of Film House Germany’s Summerstorm Entertainment produced alongside Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee of Thunder Road Films and Sean Finegan of Hyper Media Ventures.  They are joined by Canadian producing partner Kevin DeWalt of Minds Eye Entertainment who brought Calgary-based investment fund manager Invico Capital Corporation on board through one of their privately managed funds, the Invico Diversified Income Fund. M2 MediaPost introduced Twickenham Studios to the production and provided post production financing.

 “We are thrilled to be working with the talented team behind Endless,” said Quiver co-president Berry Meyerowitz. “The film beautifully captures the incredible chemistry between Alexandra and Nicholas, supported by wonderful performances of Famke as Chris’ mother and DeRon as his best friend on the Other Side, and we are excited to share this story with their many fans.”

 The deal was negotiated by ICM Partners on behalf of the filmmakers and Quiver’s Larry Greenberg. Radiant Films International is handling foreign sales.

 Quiver Distribution recently released the action thriller Becky, starring Lulu Wilson, Kevin James and Joel McHale, which led the box office in its opening weekend and expanded through an innovative drive-in release strategy.

A story of love and loss, Chris and Riley must ultimately accept the hardest lesson of all – letting go.

In THE KAISER’S LAST KISS, notions of duty and love of country are tested against the power of love itself. The 1940 invasion of Holland brings the Nazis face to face with their former monarch, Kaiser Wilhelm, who was exiled to the Netherlands in 1917. In an effort to thwart the Nazis, the Dutch resistance work covertly with Winston Churchill in inserting an agent into the Kaiser’s household. A lethally dangerous love affair ignites between a German officer and a young Jewish Dutch woman with consequences that neither they nor the Kaiser himself could have foreseen. As the Nazis race to identify and eliminate the agent, the threads of history conspire with the recklessness of the heart to dumbfound them.

With the 10,000 video clips we received, Sönke Wortman made a colorful portrait of our country.
