Banijay Signs Up Prolific French Filmmaker, Alain Goldman

Banijay, the world's largest independent producer/ distributor, today confirms a partnership with award-winning French producer, Alain Goldman via the production entities, Pitchipo Productions and Montmartre Films (previously L gende Films). Channeling the arrangement through regional outpost, Banijay France, the deal will see the group and Alain Goldman come together to grow a pipeline of premium quality scripted IP, in the form of both series and feature-length films.

Having become a master in the independent film space, Goldman's impressive accolades include Oscars, C sars, BAFTAs and a Golden Globe. However, despite being a well-established behind-the-scenes star of the big screen, he continues to adapt his art and has already built a substantive repertoire in the streaming space, with Netflix's The Spy (Sacha Baron Cohen), Amazon Prime's Flashback (Caroline Vigneaux) and The Mad Women's Ball (M lanie Laurent).

With a healthy slate already in play, upcoming titles include the feature film Verde directed by C dric Jimenez (The Stronghold) about Ingrid Betancourt and Clara Rojas' captivity in the Colombian jungle.

A familiar face on the awards circuit, Goldman's creative reputation spans the globe. With a diverse raft of credits to his name, he has a standout track record in the fiction film space, having produced - to name a few - An Officer and a Spy (2019), Edmond (2018), Santa & Cie. (2017), Mustang (2015), The Connection (2014), Paulette (2012), Coco (2008), La Vie en Rose (2007), 99 Francs (2007), The Corsican File (2004) and The Crimson Rivers (2000). Beyond the rich wealth of French and European talent he has worked with over the years, including Mathieu Kassovitz, Olivier Dahan, Alain Chabat, C dric Jimenez and Roman Polanski, he has also crafted with leading Hollywood figureheads, Ridley Scott, Martin Scorsese and Roland Joff .

Alain Goldman comments: Banijay shares our vision for the company going forward, and their immediate understanding and belief in our ethos makes them the perfect partner for our future. Joining a forward-thinking global company like Banijay gives us the ability to reach even greater heights in the years to come.

Fran ois de Brugada, CEO, Banijay France comments: Banijay provides solace for talent who wish to be creatively free from the constraints of a single creative content strategy. Here they can create across all genres for audiences both in their region and beyond. In partnering with Alain, we wish to support him in his strive to maintain and evolve a healthy pipeline of scripted titles spanning movies and series. We have no doubt, that in collaboration with the team in France, he will be a central pillar in supporting our ambitions to generate a larger portfolio of premium fiction.
