Média-Participations’ Audiovisual France Division Bolsters Team

The Audiovisual France Division of Média-Participations has strengthened its team with the appointment of three producers.

The new team members are Gaëlle Guiny, former director of development for France for 2D and 3D production at Gaumont Animation; Audrey Serre, former deputy director of development at Xilam Group/Cube; and Pierre Reyssat, formerly a producer at Onyx Films/On Entertainment.

Guiny and Reyssat joined the team in February. Serre will be joining on April 12.

The three new producers are joining Aubane Fillon (in-house producer) and Katell France and Maia Tubiana (external producers). They all report to Lila Hannou, director of development and strategy.

“Our development strategy, in both France and the international market, is very ambitious in terms of diversification and growth in our productions, as much in series as in features,” said Caroline Audebert, managing director of the division. “Quite naturally, this is supported by a policy of recruiting talents.”

Hannou said, “At Média-Participations, we want to address all targets, by adapting iconic and/or more recent properties from the outstanding catalogue of 4,000 IPs from within the group or from other publishers. But we are also looking for original creations. With this in mind, each producer can develop projects depending on their own affinities and market demands. It’s a wonderful opportunity to have all these different personalities, with rich and varied backgrounds, to take on this challenge.”
