- FilmNation has entered a partnership with British indie High Road Entertainment to co-produce television projects, with High Road providing financing and international market strategy support.
- High Road Entertainment will contribute executive production expertise from development through production, bolstering FilmNation’s existing TV slate with its packaging and distribution capabilities.
- Richard Tulk-Hart and James Durie, co-founders of High Road, launched the company earlier this year after leadership roles at Buccaneer and Cineflix, respectively, bringing deep scripted TV experience.
- Kirstie Macdonald, FilmNation’s Head of Television, called High Road an 'ideal partner' due to their understanding of the international TV landscape and ability to support global audience reach.
- FilmNation recently produced Prime Video’s adaptation of Isabel Allende’s The House of the Spirits and is developing Graham Norton’s Forever Home for Skydance UK network 5.
Why it matters: This alliance gives FilmNation scalable financing and distribution muscle without sacrificing creative control, while High Road gains immediate credibility and pipeline depth in premium TV. The deal accelerates both firms’ ambitions in the competitive global streaming market, where access to capital and international strategy increasingly determines which indies survive.
