Salla Kozma Launches Pig & Horse Productions

Salla Kozma has launched the Monaco- and Finland-based film and TV company Pig & Horse Productions with a slate of documentaries and unscripted formats in the works.

Pig & Horse will focus on developing socially impactful documentaries, with the first on the slate to be Reflections of Gaugin, an exploration into the forces that shape art’s legacy. The company is working with Anssi Rimpelä, former head of development for Fremantle Finland, on the doc and other projects.

Pig & Horse will also focus on innovative non-scripted formats for global distribution.

Rimpelä brings over 20 years of experience producing formats to the company. He played a role in localizing 27 globally recognized formats for the Finnish market, including Pop Idol, Got Talent, X Factor and Best Singers. He is also the CEO of the Finnish creative studio Up to Level Media, which he founded in 2017.

“We are thrilled to introduce Pig & Horse Productions, our international studio based in Finland and Monaco, built around a passion for bold stories for audiences everywhere,” Kozma said. “We prioritize creative collaboration, and the perfect example of this is our work with Anssi to showcase a range of unique unscripted formats and documentaries, including the trailblazing feature doc Reflections of Gaugin. Our slate will focus on stories from around the world, told through fresh and unique perspectives. Expect more from Pig & Horse very soon!”

Rimpelä said, “It’s a really exciting time to be working with Salla and Pig & Horse. The international unscripted landscape is in a moment of reinvention, and Pig & Horse is uniquely positioned to meet that demand with bold, meaningful storytelling rooted in European creativity, designed for global audiences. This side of the industry is also catching up with the co-production and co-development model that scripted has favored for a long time, so I’m looking forward to developing a slate that brings both edge and heart to the international market.”
