“Orange Entertainment is the best partner we could have to undertake our goal of increasing The Mediapro Studio's foray into film production internationally, with independent quality projects that guarantee us global distribution and reassert our place as a key player in international cinema production,” said Méndez.
Orange, run by Dutch industry veteran Wertheim, works mainly with such independent distributors as Spain's A Contracorriente, Italy's Lucky Red, Madman in Australia, U.K.'s Artificial Eye/Curzon and Music Box in the U.S. to identify art house and crossover projects with both creative and commercial appeal. Orange has recently expanded its business to act as a consultant for producers and financiers, advising on acquisitions, packaging, production, and funding of indie feature films.
“Identifying quality film projects has always been the essence of our company,” said Wertheim, calling the Mediapro agreement “a natural next step for us to get access to interesting content at an earlier stage. This can help all our clients at once.”
