Studiocanal Signs Partnership With French Company WTFilms to Co-Produce, Distribute Genre Movies
After creating a U.K. genre label with Jed Benedict, Studiocanal has forged a partnership with France's WTFilms to co-produce, distribute genre films.
Studiocanal previously collaborated with WTF on Xavier Gens’ “Farang” which was released by IFC Films in the U.S. under the title “Mayhem” and had a successful international roll out. Dimitri Stephanides and Gregory Chambet, WTFilms co-founders, said the success of Farang “reinforced our choice to focus our production projects on genre, ranging from action to thriller and horror.” “We are very enthusiastic about the idea of plowing this furrow with Studiocanal, whose ambitions in this area align with ours and those of many talented directors, to produce films with strong commercial potential both in France and abroad,” Stephanides and Chambet continued.
