With the ambition of becoming essential in fiction and streaming (magazine, documentary and reportage), Vincent Meslet, Managing Director, and Guillaume Thouret, Deputy Managing Director, are strengthening their teams.
Two new talents join the fiction division:
– Julie Lafore creates the ADICTIV label. Within Diaphana Films, she produced Tuer un homme for Arte, Best Telefilm Award at the La Rochelle Festival in 2016. She joined Kabo Family in 2018 and produced Le Mensonge, a mini-series with Daniel Auteuil, audience success for France 2, leader at each evening;
– Margaux Balsan joins CAPA DRAMA alongside Claude Chelli. With a background in directing with John Strasberg in New York, she has been an associate producer at One World Films since 2016. There, she produced the films Close Enemies and Far From Men by David Oelhoffen.
Paloma Martin Y Prada and Benoît Masocco, producers in the group, create their fiction labels, respectively MARYSOL and AMSTO.
Laurence Bachman has been appointed editorial strategy advisor. After 16 years of success in the production of fictions, she will bring her expertise while remaining associated with Barjac projects. The general management of Barjac is entrusted to Marie Dupuy d´Angeac. At her side, Lolita Franchet is appointed producer.
Within the documentary and magazine division, Benoît Thevenet is implementing a new editorial development policy around specialized labels
– 17 Juin Life (health, wellness, well-being) under the responsibility of Gaëlle Chauvin;
– CAPA Impact (news, investigation) and CAPA Stories (society, miscellanous) under the supervision of Amandine Chambelland;
– CAPA Curiosity (history, geopolitics, sciences…) and CAPA Play (music, sport, culture) directed by Patrice Lorton.
This organization hosts independent labels, one of which is headed by Manuel Herrero.
In addition, Newen takes a minority stake in the production company ROGER FILMS, co-directed by Noah Klein and Xavier Maingon. They notably produce the program Profession and the series Pitch by Baptiste Lecaplain for Canal +, documentaries, fictions and recordings for the shows, among others, of Florence Foresti, Jérôme Commandeur, Blanche Gardin and Patrick Timsit.
To support the deployment of Newen France, Vincent Meslet and Guillaume Thouret have joined forces with Benoît Thevenet, DGA magazines and documentaries, Céline Roux, DGA flow and corporate operations, Benjamin Andrey, DGA fiction operations, and Fanchon Giorda, DGA Newen Creative.
