For Immediate Release:
BLOOD WINE SIGNS WITH THE COVEN FOR INTERNATIONAL SALES REPRESENTATION
AT CANNES 2026
CANNES, FRANCE — Elevated slasher horror feature Blood Wine has officially signed with international sales agency The Coven for worldwide representation, with the film currently being showcased at the 2026 Cannes Film Market.
The partnership was finalized shortly before Cannes following meetings earlier this year at the Berlin International Film Festival, where Blood Wine’s U.S. sales representative Chris Beaver helped facilitate the deal.
As part of The Coven’s Cannes market presence, Blood Wine is being featured alongside the company’s international genre slate with promotional artwork, trailer placement, and market visibility throughout the event.
Set against the backdrop of Northern California wine country, Blood Wine blends brutal horror, atmospheric suspense, and franchise potential into a bold new entry in the genre space. The film is currently wrapping post-production as the team prepares for completion and worldwide distribution discussions.
“We’re incredibly excited to partner with The Coven,” said creator Pete Stringfellow. “They immediately understood the vision for Blood Wine and where it belongs in the marketplace. Their passion for films, success in the horror genre, and global strategy make them an ideal partner as we move toward completion and international distribution.”
Blood Wine is directed by Eric Ivey and Jared N. Wright, produced by Pete Stringfellow, with Sean Barron serving as Executive Producer.
The film stars Kelsey Corbin, Samuel Ademola, and Amanda Detmer, best known to horror audiences for her role as Terry Chaney in New Line Cinema’s Final Destination.
The project features cinematography by Sean Pettis, score by William Fritch, sound post-production by IMRSV Sound, and color finishing by Roast n’ Post.
The announcement marks a major milestone for the independent horror feature as the filmmakers prepare for completion, festival strategy, and worldwide distribution discussions.
