NEW YORK -- National Geographic said Tuesday that it is creating a distribution arm for giant-screen films, hiring Mark Katz as president and acquiring distribution rights to Destination Cinema's catalog and nWave Pictures' 3-D slate of films beginning Jan. 1. The new shingle, National Geographic Giant Screen Film, also will tackle global distribution for Bayley Silleck's new large-screen film Wired to Win: Surviving the Tour de France. Katz comes from nWave, where he was president of distribution since 1998 after a four-year stint as vp sales at Sony Pictures Classics. The exec will report to Lisa Truitt, president of the company's Giant Screen Films and Special Projects division. NWave's slate will now be distributed domestically by National Geographic on nWave's behalf.
