Electric Entertainment acquires Somewhere in Montana
July 29, 2025
Electric Entertainment, the Los Angeles-based production and distribution company, has acquired the feature film Somewhere in Montana from Nova Vento Entertainment. The deal gives Electric the exclusive North American distribution rights. The announcement was made by Dean Devlin, CEO of Electric Entertainment, who commented: “Set against the beautiful, wide-open landscapes of Montana, this film delivers strong performances and a story that really pulls you in. What really got us was the father-daughter relationship and the message about finding connection despite our differences. We’re excited to get this indie film out to a broader audience.”
Written and directed by Brandon Smith, and produced by Eden Matson and Joe Borden, Somewhere in Montana follows John (McTavish) a ranch owner in Montana, who finds himself in financial difficulties. His daughter Laney (Kaleigh Macchio) convinces him to allow a Hollywood production company led by Fabian Verdugo (Matt Drago) and Kat (Michelle Hurd) to come and use his ranch as a location for their movie.
The film premiered in Polson, Montana in June of 2023 and was released in theaters January 2025.
The deal was negotiated by Steve Saltman, Head of Domestic Sales at Electric Entertainment and Eden Matson, President at Nova Vento Entertainment.
