Los Angeles-based The Gurin Company has partnered with Film.UA Group to represent the Ukrainian indie\u2019s non-scripted programming in the U.S. and other international territories.<\/p>\n
Under the deal, The Gurin Company will select Film.UA formats and ready-made factual properties and provide development, distribution and co-production services. The partnership will see the launch of Rebuilding Ukraine Together<\/em>, in which Ukrainian homes that have been destroyed in the war will be rebuilt.<\/p>\n Rebuilding Ukraine Together<\/em>\u2019s pilot was filmed before the war but never aired. Now, the series will offer relief for traumatized local families and show what can be achieved when people come together.<\/p>\n The two companies are also working together on The History of Criminalistics<\/em>, a docu-drama that explores the innovative methods embraced by criminologists from the past two centuries. Through high-end visual effects and dramatic recreations, viewers will get a historical, scientific and entertaining look into the breakthrough techniques that are still used today.<\/p>\n The Gurin Company and Film.UA have also partnered for The Insiders Project<\/em>, an exploration into sites typically unseen and abandoned, from a nuclear reactor to uninhabited mansions. State-of-the-art graphics will recreate the structures to their former states of distinction.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile predominantly known for their scripted output, Ukrainian storytelling expertise is well known, highly regarded and deserves to be known far beyond its borders,\u201d said Phil Gurin, president and CEO of The Gurin Company. \u201cWith a project like The History of Criminalistics<\/em>, Film.UA was able to execute some terrific dramatic recreations with great skill. Even more, their cinema-quality special effects and CGI, all done locally in Ukraine, can stand against any of the big global studios, and we can\u2019t wait to bring that level of production to our productions in other territories. The intriguing and compelling adventure of The Insiders Project<\/em> can effortlessly be adapted in any territory with a history of large-scale abandoned buildings and infrastructure. Who doesn\u2019t want to get a stealth view inside once glorious and now forgotten structures and landmarks?\u201d<\/p>\n Kateryna Vyshnevska, head of development and co-productions at Film.UA Group, said, \u201cPhil Gurin and The Gurin Company have been great friends of ours for quite a few years, and we are glad to extend our collaboration to our new slate of factual and docu-drama projects. We are especially pleased that the cooperation encompasses projects touching upon the subject of war in Ukraine but also pure entertainment, from crime docu-drama to extreme urban explorations. The Ukrainian AV industry is comprised of talented people who have been, are and will continue creating great content with a viewer in mind. We are not defined by the war only, and this co-development deal is a great testament to that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Los Angeles-based The Gurin Company has partnered with Film.UA Group to represent the Ukrainian indie\u2019s non-scripted programming in the U.S. and other international territories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":18896,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1823,6440],"class_list":["post-18895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-film-ua-group","tag-the-gurin-company","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
