Our People.

Catalytic Films was founded by Milena Rimassa, a producer, media strategist and global distribution executive driven by the belief that everything begins with a script that evokes something real. The company is rooted in the continual search for exceptional stories capable of moving audiences across borders, cultures and evolving platforms. Rimassa’s career spans international film sales, independent production, cultural marketing and emerging distribution models across both traditional and next-generation platforms. Her work has focused on identifying where audiences are moving before the industry fully catches up — from streaming and hybrid release strategies to live virtual cinema, niche digital ecosystems and evolving global content pipelines. Before moving fully into production and global distribution, Rimassa built her career in journalism and entertainment media, working with major news organizations and trade publications. That editorial perspective continues to shape Catalytic’s approach to storytelling, audience discovery and the future of independent film distribution, with an emphasis on curating culturally resonant projects for targeted global audiences while remaining deeply attuned to the rapidly shifting ways viewers discover, engage with and experience entertainment.
