Escobank tells the story of a ragtag group of misfits, veterans and ex-cons who embark on a perilous journey in the jungles of Colombia to find the buried barrels of cash left behind by legendary drug kingpin Pablo Escobar before his downfall.

Pic was written by Yaron Nativ, Sharon Shaked and Orit Liba, with the latter directing as well. The film was shot in locations including Miami and Guatemala and was produced by Yaron Nativ for NN Image LLC/Escobank Pictures LLC, Haim Yehezkel and Shirly Balila.

Negotiations were handled by Zohar Kadmon and Tomer Shmulevich for NN Image LLC and Ariel Bleiberg for Bleiberg Entertainment.

“At Bleiberg, we’re always searching for action packed titles with wide appeal. Based on the subject matter, and the fact film doesn’t skimp when it comes to the thrills and action sequences, Escobank is a perfect fit for our slate and we are looking forward to present it to buyers in Berlin” said Ariel Bleiberg, Head of Acquisitions and Development at Bleiberg.
