Fremantle Corp., CCI Entertainment ink co-distribution pact

Fremantle Corporation has pacted with CCI Entertainment to co-distribute its library content and current production slate.

Fremantle, now led by Brad Pelman, will pick up CCI Releasing’s drama, lifestyle and factual library for international distribution heading into MIPTV.

That pact will enable CCI Entertainment, led by co-founders and executive producers Charles Falzon and Arnie Zipursky, to focus on creating content across all genres.

The partnership is also part of Fremantle’s new international role as a distributor and financing conduit for producer partners.

CCI’s library includes two lifestyle series, Real Houses, from CCI Productions, Hemmings House and Talons of Venice, and Cubicle to the Cage, produced by Hemmings House.

CCI’s catalogue also has four food/lifestyle series, four documentary features and two features, The Ride and Row Your Boat. In all, the CCI library offers 83 hours of content available worldwide.
