Richard Life, Head of Acquisitions, Cineflix Rights said: “Curious Films has demonstrated the ability to win commissions from across the UK market for high-profile, attention-grabbing content which appeals to a wide range of audiences—particularly the 16-34 age group. We are always on the look-out to create partnerships with top young companies, so I’m thrilled to be teaming up with Dov and Charlie, who are well-regarded creatively and very much in demand.”
Curious Films Co-Founder Dov Freedman added: “Partnering with Cineflix Rights provides us with the opportunity to move to our next phase of growth, building out from the UK into international markets. Their team has a great reputation for working with producers to maximise opportunities for individual projects as well as longer term business expansion and we’re looking forward to a successful and creative partnership together.”
