Regis Brown is an executive producer and specialist in the creation and exploitation of CG-animation and live action content for film, television, digital platforms, and location-based entertainment venues, including 4K CG-animated content for large-scale LED screens.
INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION
For years, DRB’s core business involved direct international distribution (sales) to terrestrial, cable, and satellite television network services, worldwide. DRB’s business expanded in this area, which now includes assisting work-for-hire production companies’ transition into produce-to-own companies, through the establishment of an effective in-house international distribution division.
CO-PRODUCTIONS
DRB has participated in, orchestrated and negotiated international co-production structures for original IP involving: Australia, Canada, France, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Spain and the United Kingdom. By leveraging government backed tax credits and media subsidies in select markets, IP production financing exposure is often mitigated.
PRODUCTION
DRB actively maintains strategic alliances with several top-tier film and television production companies around the globe, which specialize in both animation and live action productions. Animation production capabilities include: Flash, ToonBoom/Harmony, 2D (traditional) and CG.
PRODUCTION FINANCING
Apart from the major studios, which are capable of self-funding (100%) of their own productions, most independent produced IP require some level of production financing partnership and/or support. DRB actively pursues alternative channels for production financing involving film and television projects.
GLOBAL IP DEVELOPMENT
Selling a film or television series to television networks in the global market is one thing. However, getting that film or television series sold to the right buyers or networks –those capable of supporting and building the IP on a territory-by-territory basis – is an altogether different matter. DRB is deeply schooled in this issue.
BRAND MANAGEMENT
The development, production, distribution and marketing of entertainment IP, within the competitive global media entertainment market, are highly complex processes. How does one know the right approach is being applied? Proper brand management requires a sustained business-to-business engagement strategy, which is another area of expertise offered by DRB.
ACQUISITIONS
Not every film or television series a studio or company gets involved with needs to be developed and produced in-house. In fact, often, some of the most successful global IP results from an opportunistic third-party acquisition/representation deal. Depending on your area of interest in this sector, DRB is capable of sourcing, negotiating and supporting third-party IP acquisitions.
LICENSING & MERCHANDISING
Fundamentally, this is what it’s all about, and where it all comes together. How does the studio or company effectively develop, produce, distribute, promote and sell entertainment related IP, along with its associated products and services, in a complex crowded global market. Experience and proper representation is everything. DRB provides both.
