Don Groves is a Deadline contributor based in Sydney.

U.S. producer-financier-sales agent Cargo Entertainment will distribute its films in Australia via Jamie Bialkower’s Jump Street Films and co-fund and handle international sales of Australian films sourced by Jump Street in a newly minted co-venture. The alliance will result in Jump Street releasing 6-8 Cargo titles annually, starting in September 2013 with the Robin Williams-Mila Kunis comedy The Angriest Man In Brooklyn followed by Hemingway And Fuentes, which stars Andy Garcia, Anthony Hopkins and Annette Bening.
