Woodcut Media launched its new international sales business, Woodcut International.
Complementing Woodcut’s production operations, Woodcut International will focus on global sales of its program catalogue, which includes approximately 100 hours from the producer’s slate, select new series such as Sky Crime UK’s The Beverley Allitt Tapes, and library titles such as The Ivy and Murders That Shocked the Nation, among others. Woodcut Media will continue to collaborate with existing and new third-party distributors.
Koulla Anastasi, director of Business Development at Woodcut Media, led the launch of the distribution unit, and she will lead a team of international sales agents.
Kate Beal, co-founder and CEO, Woodcut Media, commented, “We have been focused on cementing our international relationships with commissioners and buyers and securing pre-sales on productions for a while now, so this next phase is a logical progression. The creation of Woodcut International allows us to be even more commercially, as well as editorially, collaborative with our broadcast partners.”
Hilary Strong, chairman of Woodcut Media and CEO of the Anthology Group added, “Woodcut Media has always been a very nimble business, pivoting to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the international market. Its diverse, out of London team, is particularly strong commercially and the Anthology Group has been delighted to be able to help support this new venture, which will enable Woodcut to partner commercially with its commissioners and fast track its large program slate.”
