The post of president of the company will be filled by Andrea Scrosati, the executive vice president of programming at Sky Italia. The board of directors will also include Margherita Amedei, Luisa Borella, Carlo Degli Esposti, Mario Gianani, Benedetto Habib, Domenico Labianca, Fedrica Lucisano, Luca Sanfilippo and Riccardo Tozzi.

“This new company was set up to support and boost Italian film, using an innovative, open and participative model”, explained Maccanico, highlighting that this is the first time that “a group operating in the media sector (offering pay and free audiovisual content) and certain big independent Italian producers have joined forces to offer the market new opportunities, with the option of exploring different avenues in terms of both distribution models as well as content and language, enriching the film offering to the advantage of both the public and consumers”.
