Newen, the production-distribution unit of TF1, France’s biggest broadcast network, has acquired a minority stake in Spain’s Kubik Films, the ambitious production label owned and operat…

“The arrival of Alberto and Jorge Sánchez-Cabezudo in the Newen family brings a new burst of creativity,” said Newen international director Philippe Levasseur. “They are multifaceted talents: Writers, directors and producers; and their team spirit matches exactly how we think of Newen.”

“But one major benefit of working with Newen is that we will now have the backing and the connections to be more ambitious in the scale and scope of our productions, and gives us a new level of access to international talent in terms of actors, filmmakers and co-producers,” added Jorge. Jorge Sánchez-Cabezudo’s origin story, however, is in cinema, where he wrote and directed the three-time Spanish Academy Award-nominated feature “The Night of the Sunflowers,” a classic Spanish feature from 2006 which earned the debutant director high praise at festivals across Europe and the U.S. One major motivation in partnering with Newen is that the deal will give Kubik the resources to go back to the big screen with future projects, something that both brothers are looking forward to.

The brothers are equally excited to work with new talent abroad, however. “One great advantage is that Newen’s guaranteed distribution of our productions strengthens our position in looking for possible co-productions. It lets us keep our IP within the company, and I think that’s one area that Newen is interested in too,” said Jorge.
