Alex Avon, Chief Marketing Officer Just For Entertainment Distribution announced its first deal under the new brand name. Announced two weeks ago, Just For Entertainment Distribution was a rebrand from Amuz Distribution to align better with its parent company.  RTS Switzerland acquired Season 1 of Just For Entertainment Distribution’s multi-award-winning dramedy series About Antoine, as well as the documentary Amazing Antoine, a companion doc about the incredible real-life poly-handicapped actor of the series.

About Antoine is an uplifting story of love and family triumphing over limitations. With authenticity, sensitivity, and humor the series tackles a rarely explored theme in fiction: life with a poly-handicapped child.  Inspired by True Events. The series was produced by parent company, Just For Entertainment (fka ComediHa! Productions).
