France’s WTFilms Sets Up L.A. Base to Bolster Investments in English-Language Genre Pics
As competition ramps up for more ambitious genre projects, WTFilms' Gregory Chambet decided to move to Los Angeles in mid-2023.
Founded in 2012, Paris-based WTFilms, run by Gregory Chambet and Dimitri Stephanides, has built a strong reputation as a sales agent for break-out genre pics and has recently diversified into production, to access hit projects. In partnership with Charades, WTFilms is repping Sébastien Vaniček’s $4 million spider invasion horror pic “Vermin” (retitled “Infested” for the U.S. market) that was released in France by Tandem on Dec. 27 and clocked up 100,000 admissions in its first week. “We have a very good system in France and Europe to produce great genre movies that perform well internationally, such as ‘Mayhem’ or ‘Vermin.’ We also want to reinforce our capacity to invest in high-profile English-language productions, which is why having a base in L.A. is so important,” he concludes.
