AGC Studios, Stuart Ford’s independent content studio, is promoting sales and distribution executive Sara Ghorra to vice president.
Ford, chairman and CEO, said, “Since joining the company three years ago Sara’s drive and energy coupled with keen multi-cultural instincts have made her an important player on our sales and distribution team. This is a promotion well deserved.”
Ghorra’s promotion comes with an expanded sales footprint which adds Airlines, China, Japan, South Korea, Ex Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, CIS and Baltics and South Africa to her previous territories, including Middle East, Greece, Israel, Iceland, Portugal, Turkey, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Mongolia, India, Singapore, Vietnam and West Indies.
Prior to her move to the U.S. in 2021 to join AGC, Ghorra was based in Dubai where she handled film acquisition for the Middle East distribution company Empire Entertainment. Before expanding into acquisition and sales, she ran the marketing and PR for Empire Entertainment’s full slate (including Sony Pictures, 20th Century Studios and independent films) in the Levant region, from their headquarters in Beirut.
Ghorra earned her bachelor’s degree from the American University of Beirut (AUB) where she studied business administration, specializing in marketing. She complemented her studies with a master’s degree from Spain’s IE University in Madrid, where she got an MA in visual and digital media.
Ghorra and the AGC team are heading to the European Film Market with two newly announced sales titles: Bill Condon’s Sundance sensation “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” starring Diego Luna, Tonatiuh and Jennifer Lopez, from Artists Equity and Mohari Media; and Bobby Farrelly’s road trip comedy “Driver’s Ed.”
