Ulf Israel, head of Dortmund-based 3L Prods. and producer of Julie Delpy's "Two Days in Paris" and Paul Schrader's "Adam Resurrected," will move to Senator in January to head the new shingle alongside Senator topper Helge Sasse.
Senator is in negotiations with Cologne studio and production group MMC for a long-term partnership and is eager to exploit what it says is "the great potential" of North Rhine-Westphalia.
