Newen Studios acquires French production company Daï-Daï Films

Newen Studios has acquired French production company Daï-Daï Films and welcomed its founder and producer, Vanessa Djian, to its team. A high-potential asset for Newen, which reinforces its strengths in the fields of audiovisual production, Daï-Daï Films offers popular films and series in all genres with a focus on minorities.

Vanessa Djian began her career in the movie industry alongside big names such as Clint Eastwood, Christopher Nolan, Luc Besson and Dany Boon, before creating her own production company, Daï-Daï Films, in 2017. Since its creation, it has co-produced ambitious French and international projects such as Alexis Michalik's “Edmond” or “Adieu Monsieur Haffman,” an adaptation of the play that received six nominations at the 2018 Molières.

"The editorial singularity of Daï-Daï Films and the personality of Vanessa Djian will offer us new opportunities and affirm our strategy of diversifying the genres produced by Newen Studios,”  commented Vincent Meslet, Managing Director France at Newen Studios.

"I am very happy that Newen Studios Group shares my vision and ambitions through Daï-Daï Films to produce content with strong and popular subjects. Its expertise in financing and international development will allow Daï-Daï Films to pursue a dynamic synergy with talents by providing a rewarding and quality environment,”  Vanessa Djian added.
