Deadline – Former Studio Babelsberg Head Of Production Henning Molfenter & DCM Launch JV To Lure Production To Europe
By Diana Lodderhose
EXCLUSIVE: Henning Molfenter, former head of production at Germany’s Studio Babelsberg, and German distributor and producer DCM are teaming up to launch a new joint venture to attract U.S. and international producers into Europe.
The new initiative, which doesn’t yet have an official name, will see the two parties combine their wealth of experience in production services, co-productions, distribution and financing. The news comes a week after Donald Trump announced his most recent plan to issue 100% tariffs on films and TV shows made abroad, a move which has been met with much pushback from the international film and TV communities.
