Winnipeg-based Farpoint Distribution, a division of Farpoint Films, announced today the acquisition of Toronto-based 10Star Media. The deal will see all 10Star’s properties fall under the Farpoint Distribution banner.

Stepping into a partner and president role at Farpoint is 10Star Media’s managing partner and seasoned industry vet, Craig McGillivray, formerly of Breakthrough Films & Television.

The acquisition brings such 10Star shows as Departures, Descending, Into the Rising Sun, Mantracker and more into the Farpoint Distribution library, which already includes unscripted series like Ghosts off Grid (pictured) and Fishing for History as well as features and MOW’s.

“The merger with Craig and 10Star Media made sense for so many reasons,” said Farpoint Films president, Kyle Bornais. “I’ve known and enjoyed working with Craig for years and with his wealth of experience in sales and distribution, there is no one better to have on our team and take the lead at Farpoint Distribution.”

Farpoint Distribution, which was formed in 2019, has sales agents in Winnipeg, Vancouver, Toronto, and London, England.
