Lucy Hale appeared in Cannes during the film festival last week, living the good life but also helping launch Good Life, a new feature film project from Angel Oak Films.

The $10 million production will be steered by filmmaker Bonnie Rodini, who directed the 2021 South African film of the same name.

The investment company’s first acquisitions include two big names. They are for Kms Records’ master recordings catalog from house and techno legend Kevin Saunderson, as well as for the master and publishing catalog of L.A.-based Russian trance DJ and producer Arty, also known as Alpha 9. “Both catalogs of masters will be...
