NEW YORK – Green Olive Films, a proud partner in support of ‘Find Me Falling,’ announced that the USA-Cyprus co-production premiered on the Netflix streaming platform on July 19. The film is the first produced in Cyprus to stream globally on Netflix.

The romantic comedy follows a rock star played by Harry Connick, Jr. who retreats to a cliffside home on Cyprus. According to Netflix, “his new life is soon complicated by visitors — and an old love played by Agni Scott.”

The entire film was shot in Cyprus between Peyia and Nicosia. The production was supervised and serviced by Green Olive Films and produced by Jupiter Peak Productions in partnership with Meraki Films. The production was supported by the Program for the Development of Cyprus Cinema and the Cyprus Cash rebate incentive scheme.

‘Find Me Falling’ was written and directed by Stelana Kliris, with Simos Manganis and Dionysios Manganis handling the production on behalf of Green Olive Films.

Simos Manganis said: “Our company has supported many firsts for the local film industry and attracted productions with multi-million euro budgets. We have proven our expertise and reach, and with the premier of ‘Find Me Falling’ on Netflix we are taking another major step at the international level. This is a great opportunity to showcase the skills and experience that are putting Cyprus on the map as an important centre for film production.”

Green Olive Films is a leading full-service production company founded in 1996 in Cyprus and Greece that has worked on an impressive list of international projects for Netflix, Amazon, Paramount+, Channel 5, History Channel, National Geographic, as well as international commercials for famous brands such as Perrier, Dior, Tory Burch, and TUI.
