‘The Night Manager’ Producer The Ink Factory Extends 127 Wall Financing Deal, Ups Rod Henwood to COO
“The Night Manager” producer The Ink Factory has extended its co-financing agreement with media investor 127 Wall Productions until 2024.
London and L.A.-based independent The Ink Factory said the agreement will allow it to increase development funding and production co-financing capacity across both film and TV.
The existing co-financing facility was set up between Hong Kong and London-based 127 Wall Productions and The Ink Factory in 2017, and has supported projects such as Park Chan-wook’s adaptation of John le Carré “The Little Drummer Girl” for the BBC and AMC.
The move comes after The Ink Factory announced a strategic partnership in February with Endeavor Content, which saw the financing arm of Endeavor take a minority stake in the business. The deal increased development funding at The Ink Factory, and also gave Endeavor first-look for selling forthcoming Ink Factory projects internationally.
The Ink Factory also today announced that Rod Henwood, formerly chief strategy officer,...
