Banijay Benelux has entered into a partnership with documentary filmmaker and director Jessica Villerius, founder of Posh Productions.

The collaboration will help build Banijay Benelux’s documentary portfolio, specifically in the crime, psychology and social spaces. Villerius’ credits include The Children of Ruinerwold and The Last Word, both broadcast on NPO2.

“Jessica is a distinctive and committed documentary maker and has built a genre with a completely unique style,” said Peter Lubbers, CEO of Banijay Benelux. “I am impressed by her talent, journalistic approach and personal involvement in every subject. It’s going to be a great collaboration, and I look forward to the moment her next (international) documentary lands.”

“Thanks to the collaboration with Banijay Benelux, I can focus more than ever on what I am good at and where my heart lies: the creative process and importantly, telling even more beautiful and relevant stories,” Villerius said. “I will soon be supported in a large part of the daily business and will work together with the team at Banijay to bolster the distribution of my documentaries, films and series. I’ve no doubt that through the partnership, Posh Productions will become even stronger and grow further, even after 15 years.”
