Amin to rev up 'Quattro' - Sobini to be a producing partner, provide finishing funds
By CATHY DUNKLEY | VARIETY | 12/6/03


Sobini Films, a production, financing and sales shingle headed by Mark Amin, has acquired worldwide rights to first-time writer-director Joey Curtis' street-racing drama "Quattro Noza."

Company will also be a producing partner on the film and provide finishing funds for post-production.

Pic, produced by Frederic King, president of Fountainhead Films, will be completed by March. Amin will serve as exec producer.

"Noza" was first seen in competition at last year's Sundance Film Festival, where Derek Cianfrance won the excellence in cinematography award for his work on the film. It also garnered IFP Spirit Award nominations for first feature and cinematography.

Deal for "Noza" was brokered by Sobini president Cami Winikoff. Innovative Artists repped Curtis.

Sobini recently completed production on "The Prince and Me," a co-production of Paramount and Lions Gate. Pic, directed by Martha Coolidge, will be released in early 2004.
