Studio looks to ramp production activities, pacts with Dutch producer.
Polish studio Alvernia is to collaborate with Dutch producer San Fu Maltha on an initiative to bring more independent productions to the studio.
Alvernia plans to invite independent producers to co-produce two to three projects a year with budgets of up to €3m, with Alvernia and Maltha coming up with 50% of the budgets.
Eligible projects for the scheme must be English-language, of a “mainstream genre” and pre-production must be completed with director and lead cast secured.
The duo will consider European locations for shoot, but stipulate that post-production must be completed at the Polish studio.
Alvernia’s head of production Anna Rozalska has been splitting time between La and Poland in recent months in a bid to build production partnerships for the studio.
During Toronto, the studio announced a partnership with Brett Ratner to produce Magnitude 9, Agnieszka Vosloo’s updated version of Madame Butterfly.
