EndemolShine Fiction in Exclusive Pact with Black Sheep

EndemolShine Fiction has entered into an exclusive co-development and co-production deal with Black Sheep Films.

The pact covers the entirety of Black Sheep Films’ slate. The company specializes in French- and English-language fiction targeting young adults. Its productions include the multi-awarded Patricia Moore for Blackpill.

EndemolShine’s Nicolas Coppermann: “This partnership strengthens the development of our fiction strategy based on new talents whose potential can be multiplied by joining forces. Augustin Bernard and Mathieu Van de Velde have convinced us with their first achievements, an outstanding lineup and their approach of the market. The perspective to conquer new audiences through common projects is truly exciting.”

Black Sheep’s Augustin Bernard: “We are absolutely thrilled with this partnership with Nicolas Coppermann and the whole team at EndemolShine Fiction, as well as the trust placed upon us. We share the ambition to become a major content provider for teenage audiences. Black Sheep Films found its place organically within the group and we are impatient to quickly move forward together.”

Black Sheep’s Mathieu Van de Velde: “Audiences’ globalization is allowing us to develop original and local stories with incredibly high international potential, driven by a new generation of talents. As we increasingly transition into a nonlinear environment, being innovative in terms of stories, formats and distribution is an absolute prerequisite in order to reach our audience where it sits. In that regard, EndemolShine Fiction is an obvious partner and the group’s experience an invaluable asset.”
