Kristen Stewart’s Latvian Partner Forma Pro Films Ups Co-Pro Stakes (EXCLUSIVE)
Forma Pro Films will co-produce the next Alberto Serra, Andreï Zvaguintsev and Kirill Serebrennikov.
Discussing the company’s weighty presence in Cannes with Serebrennikov and Stewart, Forma Pro Films’ producer and head of development Svetlana Punte said: “We’re honored and proud to work with such outstanding directors. For the seasoned film executive, Latvia is extremely competitive with its national cash rebates capped at 30% of eligible costs, expert cast and crew and wide-ranging locations. “We always push for the best, which is why we’ve become the biggest players in Latvia for U.S. shoots,” said Punte, who cited “Words of War,” executive produced by Sean Penn, which was fully shot in Latvia a few years back, and two mega-projects that recently wrapped filming locally under Forma Pro Films care: Olivier Assayas’ “The Wizard of Kremlin” starring Jude Law, Alicia Vikander and Paul Dano, and Cary Fukunaga’s “Blood on Snow starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Eva Green.
