Swiss film startup FinFilm, an innovative platform that finances European and African film projects, has boarded the Sky Original family adventure film “Robin and the Hoods.”
The Zurich-based company is actively involved in co-financing the film as a gap lender.
Produced by Silver Reel and Future Artists Entertainment and directed by Phil Hawkins, the modern-day tale inspired by the hero of Sherwood Forest features James Bond star Naomi Harris, Gwendoline Christie (“Game of Thrones”), Mark Williams (“Harry Potter”) and Darcey Ewart in the lead role as the 11-year-old Robin.
When an unscrupulous developer (Harris) threatens their magical kingdom of overgrown bushes at the end of their cul-de-sac, the tenacious Robin and her loyal friends, the “Hoods,” take matters into their own hands to save their beloved woodland.
“Robin and the Hoods” is produced by Claudia Bluemhuber, managing partner at Zurich-based Silver Reel and Matt Williams of Future Artists Entertainment in London.

BERLIN -- Roland Pellegrino, former head of German film financer CP Medien, has launched a new film and television production entity, Miromar Entertainment, together with German producers Michel Morales and Martin Koch of Munich-based production house Haifisch Entertainment, the parties said Thursday. Starting in January, Miromar will bankroll and produce a slate of TV-movies, documentaries and feature films. Koch and Morales have brought two TV productions to Miromar from Haifisch: the TV-movie "Herzrasen" (Pounding Heart) for Munich-based channel ProSieben and the documentary "Alantropa" for pubwebs WDR, BR, NDR and Austria's ORF. Financing for feature films will come from private placement deals set up by Pellegrino. As head of CP Medien, Pellegrino helped bankroll dozens of features, including "Enemy at the Gates", "The Cat's Meow" and "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery." But CP Medien was shut down in October following a change to Germany's tax law that will make it harder to use cash from German film funds to back Hollywood productions. "Under the new regulations, our current [tax fund] model is no longer tenable," Pellegrino said. "That's why we've gone the private placement route." Miromar Entertainment will be based at CP Medien's old headquarters in Ludwigsburg.
