Gunpowder & Sky Enters JV with Circle of Confusion

Gunpowder & Sky has partnered with Circle of Confusion to develop and produce feature films and series from writers, directors and producers who have had their work released on Gunpowder & Sky’s sci-fi and horror brands.

Through the pact, filmmakers working with the sci-fi brand DUST and the horror brand ALTER will now also have fast-track access to Circle of Confusion’s list of managers and their clients. Further, the joint venture will focus on nurturing new talent who will have the chance to be represented by Circle of Confusion’s managers.

Floris Bauer, Gunpowder & Sky president, said: “Championing the next generation of filmmakers has always been part of our DNA, and since launching DUST and ALTER a few years ago, we have curated, produced and showcased more than 500 films on our channels. We are thrilled to be partnering with Circle, further developing DUST and ALTER IP, and unearthing breakthrough talent from our network of diverse global creators. With their track record of discovering the creators behind films and series like The Matrix, The Walking Dead, John Wick and Black Panther, we hope that together we are lucky enough to build an iconic franchise or two.”

The Circle of Confusion partners added: “We couldn’t be more excited about our collaboration with Gunpowder & Sky on their DUST and ALTER brands. DUST and ALTER are premier channels for the kind of cutting edge sci-fi and horror IP and creators that Circle has been successful with fostering for decades. Working with the Gunpowder & Sky team to launch these talented filmmakers and create exceptional film and television is a strategically seamless and powerful step for both our companies.”
