mk2 Films

mk2 Films is actively selling international rights to Justine Triet's psychological thriller Fonda while navigating an awards season that has produced three Golden Globe wins and fifteen Oscar nominations across its current slate.

Current mandate

mk2 Films positions itself at the intersection of auteur prestige and commercial awards traction, representing international art-house and festival titles from Europe and Asia for worldwide rights. The company's current flagship pre-sale is Fonda, the new psychological thriller from Justine Triet (Anatomy of a Fall), which Managing Director Fionnuala Jamison describes as a title of "rare intelligence and emotional force" built for top awards contention. Studiocanal has already committed as a financing and co-producing partner, securing theatrical rights across France, Germany, Italy, Benelux, Poland, Australia, and New Zealand, leaving a substantial map of open territories for buyers to negotiate. Fonda is expected to be among the most sought-after pre-sales titles at the European Film Market in Berlin.

Recent representation underscores the company's awards-caliber positioning. mk2 Films is currently mid-awards-season with three Golden Globe wins and fifteen Oscar nominations across its slate, on titles including It Was Just an Accident, Sentimental Value, and The Secret Agent. The throughline across the slate is script-driven, director-led work with demonstrable festival and awards pedigree.

Buyers and distributors seeking access should approach mk2 Films directly through its sales team, with Fionnuala Jamison serving as the primary decision-making contact. The European Film Market in Berlin represents the most immediate and logical point of entry for territory negotiations on Fonda, while the broader slate of international art-house and documentary titles remains available for ongoing discussion year-round.
