FilmNation has entered into a partnership with newly launched British independent production company High Road Entertainment.

Under the deal, the two companies will collaborate on co-producing projects, with High Road providing support across financing and international market strategy, as well as executive production expertise spanning development through production.

The companies said that Anora studio FilmNation’s “internationally focused approach to producing and financing ambitious storytelling will be complemented by High Road’s experience in packaging, financing and bringing premium television projects to market.”

Recent international television projects from FilmNation include Prime Video’s adaptation of Isabel Allende’s The House of the Spirits, as well as the upcoming adaptation of Graham Norton’s novel Forever Home, which is being produced for Skydance UK and network 5.

High Road was launched earlier this year by former Buccaneer co-CEO Richard Tulk-Hart and James Durie, the former Head of Scripted TV at Cineflix.

FilmNation and High Road said further announcements concerning commissions already in place will follow.

Kirstie Macdonald, FilmNation’s Head of Television, described High Road as “an ideal partner” for the slate.

“Their understanding of the international television landscape, combined with their financing, distribution and exec producing capabilities, makes them the perfect partner to build on the success achieved so far,” she added. “We look forward to working together to bring these ambitious projects to life and to audiences globally.”

Tulk-Hart and Durie added in a statement: “FilmNation has built an exceptional reputation for identifying and supporting bold, distinctive stories and filmmakers.

“We’re thrilled to partner with the team and to help bring this slate to audiences around the world and build on the shows we have already got in production. Our focus is on supporting the great creative work Kirstie Macdonald and her team have built to date with the financing, production expertise and market strategy needed to realise these projects at the highest level.”

Tulk-Hart is attached as an exec producer on the Masterpiece, BBC and Fox drama adaptation of Henry James’ novel The Portrait of a Lady.
