GRB Studios, Zig Zag Productions ink UK-U.S. co-production partnership

Sherman Oaks-based indie prodco and distributor GRB Studios has penned a co-production partnership with London indie Zig Zag Productions.

Under the pact, the two companies will jointly shop and produce a selection of ā€œmutually-chosenā€ non-scripted projects on both sides of the pond. As such, Zig Zag-created titles will be shopped in the U.S. and GRB-made ventures will likewise be looking for buyers in the UK.

All programs greenlit will be co-produced by the companies.

ā€œOur aim is to co-produce a number of compelling unscripted projects together that will appeal to a global audience, harnessing the best of both companies’ creative and business strengths,ā€ saidĀ GRB’sĀ Sarah CourseyĀ (pictured left), whoĀ recently joinedĀ the California company as SVP of international.

ā€œWe’re excited to be forming this strategic alliance to exploit mutually selected Zig Zag and GRB projects and formats for the U.S. and UK markets. Creating an Anglo-American partnership between two strong independent players with proven excellence in creativity and production is an exciting prospectā€ addedĀ Matt Graff (right), managing director of Zig Zag.
