Video Interview: Entertainment One’s John Morayniss & Stuart Baxter

NEW YORK: John Morayniss, the CEO of eOne Television, tells World Screen about the company’s successful approach to drama co-pros, while Stuart Baxter, the U.K.-based president of eOne Television International, discusses expanding the company’s co-production abilities to Europe and beyond and managing windows in a highly fragmented landscape.

With a roster of well-regarded North American co-productions under its belt—among them Rookie Blue, Haven and the brand-new The Book of Negroes—Entertainment One (eOne) has emerged as a leading independent supplier of drama to the global market. To ramp up its catalogue, it has also been striking output deals with major U.S. cable channels and building its factual capabilities, snapping up the Canadian outfits Paperny Entertainment and Force Four Entertainment last year.
