About International Division - Nolan Pielak

Returning to Canada after 10 years in Los Angeles working in international distribution, Nolan Pielak brings a wealth of resources and knowledge for Grapevine clients seeking foreign buyers for their product.

In his five years with Franchise Pictures, he handled international pre-sales and distribution for films of all budget ranges, including major Warner Bros. pictures such as Whole Nine Yards, Art of War, The In-Laws, and Spartan to name a few. More recently, in his post as President of International Distribution at Dream Entertainment, he handled the sales and acquisitions of more independent and festival-driven product such as Naomi Watts' Ellie Parker, and award winning documentaries like "Tell Them Who You Are".

Over the past decade, Nolan has established invaluable contacts with distributors in all territories throughout the world, including buyers for indy features, big studio pictures, television series, documentaries, or even foreign language films. He also has strong relationships and alliances with other fellow sales agents and US distribution companies, which can also be of value to clients of Grapevine.
