Frantic Films CEO Buys Back Company from Kew

Jamie Brown, the CEO of Frantic Films, has signed an agreement to repurchase a 100 percent stake in the production company, which is behind Baroness Von Sketch Show and Backyard Builds, from Kew Media Group.

Brown has personally financed the deal to fully reacquire ownership in Frantic Films, which has been owned by Kew Media Group since March 2017. Brown will continue to lead Frantic Films, and the company’s leadership team and wider staff arrangements will also be unaffected at its headquarters in Winnipeg and Toronto office.

Brown said: “After 20 years of domestic and international production success, this marks the beginning of a new chapter for our company. We’re moving forward with an exciting current production and development slate and a new vision for 2020 and beyond.”
