PARIS -- French producer Georges Campana, who left Vivendi Universal subsidiary Le Sabre in July, is setting up his own company, Breakout Films, and has put together an initial slate of English-language movies and miniseries. Breakout is one of the three main shareholders in production entity Screensaver International, alongside German producer Peter Paulich and Australian director-producer Mario Andreacchio. The three previously partnered on the movie Paradise Found, in which Kiefer Sutherland starred as painter Paul Gaugin. "The ambition is to make feature films and event miniseries, always with at least one major partner in Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom and so on," Campana said recently. Ignoring the movie adage about never working with animals or children, Campana's first project as producer involves working with baby animals. Five of them. The family movie Two Brothers Running, directed by Andreacchio, is scheduled to start shooting in South Africa at month's end. "It's a sort of road movie centered on two baby elephants who have to make a journey through the African bush," Campana said.
