Mediawan CEO Pierre-Antoine Capton on Breaking Barriers to Build One of Europe’s Biggest Independent Production Groups
Mediawan CEO Pierre-Antoine Capton, who is Variety's International Visionary Award winner, reflects on studio's success.
In 2015, he co-founded Mediawan with investment banker Matthieu Pigasse and telecom billionaire Xavier Niel, and since then the group has traversed a tumultuous period marked by a pandemic, strikes and economic recessions by growing stronger. While taking a hands-on approach and engineering high-profile acquisitions at Mediawan, Capton continues to lead Troisième Œil Prods., the vehicle he launched out of a modest office located in a parking lot back in 2001, that now produces some of France’s highest-rated talk shows, such as “C à vous.” The group can also count Leonardo Van Dijl’s Critics Week title “Julie Keeps Quiet,” which is executive produced by Blue Morning Pictures, the L.A.-based banner founded by Zeller and Federica Sainte-Rose in partnership with Mediawan.
