Essential Media Group (Emg) CEO Greg Quail and North American president Jesse Fawcett have purchased the Essential companies from the collapsed Kew Media Group.
The deal gives Quail and Fawcett full control of the group’s Us, Australian and New Zealand operations while Dave Cole, managing director of post house Two Dogs.TV, regains a minority stake.
“It’s been a very distracting time. We’re looking forward to getting back to business and making TV shows,” Quail told If today.
Emg was formed by the merger of Australia’s Essential Media and Entertainment, Fawcett’s La- based 11 Television, Quail Entertainment Us and the North American joint venture Essential Quail Television (Eqtv).

Canada’s Kew Media bought Emg in 2018 for $32.8 million, $20 million in cash and the balance in shares.
The Toronto-based media conglomerate collapsed in February and Fti Consulting Canada was appointed to sell its assets to repay creditors.

Boyce, who was best known for his role as Carlos in Disney Channel’s Descendants franchise, stars in the film as Cal, a teenage boy who, after a troubling incident transpires, proves to be a young man with a take-no-prisoners attitude. The film was directed by William Coakley and based on a script by him, Christian Van Gregg, and Armand Constantine.
Runt will debut on February 29 at 1Pm and will have a second public screening March 2 at 5Pm to close out the festival. Victor and Libby Boyce (Cameron Boyce Foundation) are expected to attend. Boyce sadly passed last year in July due to a seizure as a result of epilepsy.
