Mance Media Teams Up with Bennett

HOLLYWOOD: Mance Media has formed a partnership with Bennett Productions, in a deal that includes exclusive worldwide distribution rights for Bennett’s TV library.

The library consists of lifestyle and action sports series such as HDNET’s Bikini Destinations and ION Television’s The MEN7 Show. Under the agreement, Mance Media and Bennett will also co-produce new series on their development slate, including DNA of Sport, Beyond the List, and a season 5 of Bikini Destinations.

“I look forward to an exciting future with Mance Media as we continue to produce innovative men’s lifestyle shows,” said Casey Bennett, the CEO of Bennett Productions.

“This partnership is proof that life comes full circle as I had originally worked for Bennett right out of college as an intern,” added Matthew Mancinelli, the CEO of Mance Media. “Now, working with Casey and his talented team on new ideas, production and worldwide distribution at this level will be truly remarkable. I’m excited to debut the invigorated library at MIPTV at Mance Media’s new location 11.15.”

“All of us here at Bennett Productions are very pleased to be working with Matt to continue producing and distributing innovative programming,” commented Ian Woods, the president of Bennett Productions.
