Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentNew York-based real estate entrepreneur and producer Noam Baram (“Walking to Paris”) has joined forces with Italian film exec Augusto Pelliccia to launch Valiah Entertainment, a new production company that will tap into Italy’s generous film production incentives.The new outfit, called Valiah Entertainment, has also forged a joint venture with veteran Hollywood producer Mark Lipsky (“Coming to America,” “Beverly Hills Cop III”) whose WOF Entertainment will help finance the production and handle distribution of Valiah’s multi-picture slate.The first film out of the Valiah gate will be “The Curfew,” a rom-com directed by Australia’s Nadia Tass who is known for directing Australian cult comedies such as “Malcolm,” “The Big Steal” and more recently the doc “Oleg: The Oleg Vidov Story.” Shooting on “Curfew” is planned to start this fall at Valiah’s studio facilities in Rome.
The film centers on an utterly unremarkable man named Raphael Di Stefano whose mediocre life suddenly gets a jolt when women begin to find him utterly irresistible.
The cast is being kept under wraps. The entire film will be shot in Italy.“Through this lucrative partnership with Mark, we’re able to fully operate a one-stop shop where we can create, fund and share a distinct mix of stories with meaning and purpose,” said Baram (pictured), who is Valiah Entertainment’s CEO, in a statement.Similarly to Baram’s previous film financing outfit, called APX Capital Group, which he has now left, his new production company has a partnership with Italy’s Cattolica Assicurazioni insurance company, which is a subsidiary of Gruppo Generali, as well as other unspecified private investors.
