Ex-Prime Video Exec To Rainbow; AI Film ‘Echo Hunter’; MGM Alternative Makes BBC Show; HiddenLight Producer Joins Sky News Unit – Global Briefs


Marco Azzani, the former Country Manager for Prime Video Italy, has joined Rainbow Group as Executive VP of Digital Channels and Distribution.

He had exited Amazon in February after a decade and his appointment at Italy-based animation house Rainbow comes at a crucial time following investment from TEC Movie, an indie vehicle formed by members of The Equity Club, which operates on behalf of ultra-high net-worth individuals connected to Mediobanca. “The arrival of Marco Azzani represents a very important step for our group, which for years has undertaken a path of expansion and development in terms of quality and content offering,” said Iginio Straffi, founder and President of Rainbow, which is best known as the company behind the Winx Club brand. Breckin Meyer ( Robot Chicken) stars, with Taylor John Smith ( Warfare, Where the Crawdads Sing), Danielle Bisutti ( God of War, Insidious), Gedeon Burkhard ( Inglourious Basterds), Hanna Balicki ( The Wolf and Lamb), and Xander Bailey among the cast.
