    Tuesday April 07th 2015

    Vancouver’s Bron Studios has sold the global rights to distribute its original feature film Special Correspondents to Netflix. “(Netflix) approached us once they learned about the film. They had a pre-existing relationship with Ricky because of his show Derek,” said Bron’s Aaron Gilbert, who is producing the film with Gervais, Unanimous Entertainment’s Chris Coen, and Manuel Munz. “They are now fully financing the picture.” Gilbert is one of the few B.C. film producers who seldom goes to Telefilm Canada for funding and doesn’t do production service work for American clients. Gilbert has been particularly successful seeking funding from the private sector and also owns Media House, which provides short-term loans to independent filmmakers. Loans are secured against unsold distribution rights. Special Correspondents, which is based on the French hit Envoyes Tres Speciaux, will begin filming next month in Toronto and New York.
