Paris-based MK2 creates joint film company with former co-founding managing director of Quebec’s Metropole Films.
Paris-based MK2 is joining forces with Canadian arthouse distributor Charles Tremblay to found a new Montreal-based film company called MK2 | Mile End.
Initially, its core activity will be distribution but there are plans to develop production, theatrical programming, virtual reality and cinema-based events in the short to medium term.
MK2| Mile End will be the exclusive distributor of MK2’s catalogue in the French-speaking Canadian territory of Quebec.
Tremblay said the association with MK2 and its managing director Nathanaël Karmitz was “a natural one”.
The move comes some 11 months after Tremblay quit his position as managing director of Metropole Films, the leading Montreal-based arthouse distribution company which he co-founded in 2005, saying he wanted “to write a new chapter” in his life.
“It was important to me to align myself with a partner with a strong and ambitious vision, and one that...
