Herbert Kloiber Jr. is setting out on his own by launching his boutique production company focusing on high-end series for the international market
The film and TV executive, who exited German mini-major Tele Munchen Group last year following the company's acquisition by private equity giant KKR, is launching his own boutique production company focusing on high-end series for the international market.
For the next three years, at least, Kloiber believes demand for high-end series will be "extremely high." Being based in Europe, he argues, will also be a key advantage both in terms of access to local talent and in order to adhere to Europe's quota system, which requires all streaming platforms operating on the continent to carry a certain proportion of "European made" productions.
Kloiber will be looking to develop original stories from scratch with producers as well as coming on board third-party projects as a co-financier or sales partner. "I won't be setting up a full sales operation but can work on a bespoke basis to develop international sales strategies on a project by project basis," he said.
