Content Media Corp. Enters JV with Preferred Content

LOS ANGELES: Content Media Corporation is establishing a new film, TV and digital production and development company in partnership with Preferred Content. 

The new venture is entitled Preferred Film & TV (PFT). Preferred Content founders Ross M. Dinerstein and Kevin Iwashina will collectively oversee the day-to-day operations, working closely with Content Film’s Jamie Carmichael. The company will produce across all genres. PFT will have a first-look agreement with Content’s film division, but will also be able to work with other distribution and finance entities. The two companies will continue to manage their own international and domestic sales businesses. 

"As Preferred Content enters its fourth year of existence, Kevin and I are thrilled to continue to build our business with new partners," said Dinerstein. "John, Jamie and the team at Content have been instrumental in the growth of our production business, and we look forward to the next phase."
 
Content’s CEO, John Schmidt, and Carmichael added, “We have worked on some great films with Ross and Kevin, culminating in the fantastic success of The Pact this year. Ross is a really talented and creative producer, with excellent taste, and Kevin is an absolute dynamo with great business instincts. We have enjoyed our collaboration immensely, and this is a wonderful and natural progression for our two companies to work together on the development and production of an expanded slate of feature films.”
