Its partnership with Plan B sees Mediawan entering into a new dimension, since the American firm is more than familiar with nominations and Oscar successes. Blue Morning Pictures, meanwhile, a company launched in the USA in September by Mediawan in association with Florian Zeller, will be absorbed alongside plan B into a new dedicated entity.
For the record, Mediawan is also active in world sales by way of Mediawan Rights, LS Distribution and Telmondis.
