The two companies have begun development on a Hollywood film project slated for shooting in Japan, with full-scale development and pre-production work set to commence in the United States alongside a showrunner.
Both companies will partner in this IP and distribute the series. The production will be helmed by Stellar Yapim, a prominent independent Turkish film and television production company founded by Inci Gulen Oarr, showrunner of the hit drama series “Elif”.
De Jesus is the third key creative to join Rare TV in the last six months. In May, story consultant and executive producer Greg Chivers was appointed as US showrunner, while development producer Abigail Keyes joined the company’s Belfast-based team.
Eric Rochant, screenwriter, director, producer, and showrunner, and Pascal Breton, Founder and President of Federation Studios, continue their association through Maui Entertainment as Rochant moves into the next phase of his company’s growth.
