CLPB Rights Rebrands & Adds to Team

CLPB Rights has rebranded as Incognita Distribution and tapped ZED and Newen Connect alum Chloé Persyn-Preljocaj as head of operations.

The rebrand comes one year after the creation of Incognita Studio, born from the merger of Incognita and CLPB Media.

Incognita Distribution will represent titles produced by Incognita Studio’s labels—Incognita Film, Incognita TV, Incognita Doc, Hanoï Production, CPB Films, Compagnie des Phares et Balises and Camera Lucida—across documentary, scripted and performing arts. It will also distribute select third-party projects, helping them find new audiences both in France and abroad.

Persyn-Preljocaj has over 15 years of experience in documentary distribution. She spent 12 years at ZED, including seven as head of sales and acquisitions, before joining Newen Connect (TF1 Group) in 2022 to grow its documentary activity. There, she collaborated with CAPA on projects spanning investigation, geopolitics, history and science while also supporting producers in securing international financing.

At Incognita Distribution, Persyn-Preljocaj will expand commercial activities in close collaboration with in-house producers and external talent. Beyond sales, she will also initiate new documentary projects, working hand-in-hand with authors and directors to bring fresh ideas to market and connect them with international buyers.

“Our ambition is to bring distinctive stories to audiences worldwide and to establish ourselves as a trusted partner for both producers and broadcasters,” Persyn-Preljocaj said. “We aim to curate a portfolio of projects defined by strong editorial vision and genuine international appeal.”

Édouard de Vésinne, founder and CEO of Incognita Studio, added, “Distribution lies at the heart of our strategy as independents—it is what allows our works to meet audiences and makes ambitious projects possible. With Chloé, we welcome a highly respected professional whose editorial acumen and international experience perfectly embody the new chapter we are opening with Incognita Distribution.”
