About Us

LUCKY NUMBER is an international sales company founded by Ola Byszuk, Olivier Barbier and Lenny Porte

Our aim is to promote auteur cinema, both international and French. This ambition will be reflected in a limited slate of films and a “boutique” approach to international distribution: 5 to 6 fiction films, 2 to 3 animation films per year.

This agile approach offers enhanced service and support to film producers and distributors, through strategic partnerships.

An exclusive association with the creative agency Metanoïa will strengthen the marketing proposals for the titles in the line-up, and give priority to integrating the films’ commercial strategies at a very early stage.

Collaboration with post-production companies IIW Studio (specializing in VFX) and Lux (image laboratory) will also consolidate the range of services that LUCKY NUMBER wishes to offer producers of the films in its line-up, and provide support for the quality of servicing offered to international distributors.

Finally, a capital-intensive partnership with Moon-Keys International Content, a company specializing in the financing of animation projects, will enable us to work on a minimum of two to three animated films each year, covering both mainstream animation and auteur works.
