Danny Perkins, CEO of StudioCanal, said:
"The support of Creative Europe makes a genuine difference to our release strategies - it is important to provide UK audiences with a diverse film choice and through distribution funding of this kind we are able to take more risks with our film choices and show more ambition in our release plans."
