French Film Vet Launches Action Powerhouse

French film executive Sara May has established Sonderworld, a new production company focused on action and genre films. With financial backing from Goodfellas, Sonderworld aims to develop original intellectual property and franchises originating from the French and European markets.

May, who previously held executive roles at TF1, EuropaCorp, and spent six years at Netflix, intends to create a "metaverse of action" from Europe. She believes the continent possesses the talent, infrastructure, and stories to produce high-quality action content for a global audience at a reduced cost.
