Box To Box Gets Investment from Bruin Capital

Box To Box Films has received a minority investment from Bruin Capital that it plans to use to expand into self-financed projects as well as new verticals while also exploring strategic M&A.

Founded in 2016 by Academy Award-winning producer James Gay-Rees and Emmy-winning producer Paul Martin, Box To Box specializes in feature documentaries, documentary series and formatted factual entertainment. The company has produced a number of series in the sports space, including Formula 1: Drive to Survive.

Box To Box will continue to be led by Gay-Rees, Martin and Samantha Lawrence, managing director, who will look to expand the senior management teams in LA and London.

Gay-Rees and Martin said: “Box To Box is ready to take the next step in realizing its huge potential to become the definitive sports entertainment company globally while continuing to produce best-in-class non-sport content. The response to and impact of our productions has been overwhelming and the primary reason for our organic growth and momentum. To execute this next growth phase called for a partner who understood our business and brought complementary resources and track record that would excite the industry as well as creative partners. Bruin is that and more, and we’re thrilled to be working with George Pyne and the team.”

“We can’t be more excited to support Box To Box in this booming renaissance for Intellectual Property,” said George Pyne, founder and CEO of Bruin Capital. “On top of being world-class storytellers, the team’s ability to turn insider’s access into definable business growth and meaningful value creation is why everyone in the industry is looking to work with them. Now, it’s about having the capital and flexibility to create multiple lines of sustainable growth businesses, which is where we come in. Besides being fans of their work, we see limitless potential for the company to capitalize on a gamut of opportunities with athletes, teams, leagues, federations and brands for collaboration and business development.”
