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.
