Minds Eye International has hired Patricia Brandino as its managing director. Brandino -- previously attached to the large-format distributor Destination Cinema in Utah -- will join Minds Eye president Kevin DeWalt at MIPTV this month in Cannes, where they will debut titles including the four-hour mini The Englishman's Boy and a number of docs.

Brandino's "extensive distribution and marketing experience will certainly serve to benefit both Minds Eye International's catalogue and our loyal client base," said DeWalt in a release.
