Blink49 Studios, backed by FIFTH SEASON (formerly known as Endeavor Content) and Canada’s Vanguarde Artists Management are launching a joint venture to develop and produce content for the global market.
The joint venture brings together Vanguarde’s access to creative talent and IP to develop and produce original projects with Blink49’s studio, production and distribution infrastructure. Under the joint venture, Blink49 will also provide development funding to build a slate of projects with Vanguarde and its clients. Blink49 and Vanguarde will serve as co-producers on all projects developed and produced through the deal, with FIFTH SEASON having a first look on international distribution rights.
Vanguarde recently tapped award-winning television creator Adam Pettle as in-house executive producer of its newly-formed content label Vanguarde Pictures, to work alongside co-heads Tina Horwitz and Jay Horwitz on the company’s scripted content projects.
“We’re so thrilled to be embarking on this exciting venture with Tina and Jay and the team at Vanguarde,” said John Morayniss (pictured), CEO, Blink49 Studios. “With a stellar client roster and a thoughtful, strategic and creative approach to supporting their clients, Vanguarde is the perfect partner for this joint venture that will provide development funding and studio support for a slate of projects that we will bring to a global market. And, with the launch of Vanguarde Pictures with Adam Pettle joining as an executive producer, this joint venture is set up to be prolific.”
