Bollee joins nWave from London-based 3D Entertainment Distribution, where he has been Chief Operating Officer and Chief Marketing Officer since 2009. Previously, he was Director of Sales & Marketing at that firm and, before that, he headed a company that specialized in news and analysis of the giant screen business. He will report directly to Eric Dillens, nWave Studios’ Chairman.
“I am delighted to join nWave, a company I know and respect and whose name is synonymous with original quality entertainment,” said Bollee. “I will be leveraging my experience of more than 15 years in the IMAX film industry to maximize every opportunity for growth in our various business segments. In addition, it is our ambition to build a strong line-up of first-class films and at the same time strengthen our marketing and servicing efforts to meet our clients’ needs.”
“Julien has a proven track record of achievement in film distribution and is well respected within the industry,” said Eric Dillens, Chairman of nWave Studios. “Julien began working as a consultant for our company two months ago and was instrumental in the successful acquisition of the distribution rights for Penguins 3D from UK-based Atlantic Productions. His in-depth knowledge of the business coupled with his operational and industry expertise will greatly benefit our organization as it provides film buyers with a steady flow of the highest-quality films over the coming years.”
