France's Newen Studios has acquired Johnson Production Group (JPG), a financier, producer and distributor of television films.
The 32-year-old group's founder, Timothy O. Johnson, will continue to lead the company. JPG said it packages, finances and distributes more than 40 TV movies a year, citing films such as Christmas at Pemberley Manor, Love on the Slopes, Falling in Niagara, Hotwired in Suburbia and Noel Next Door.
According to Newen, this move is part of a strategy to acquire global intellectual property that began five years ago with the acquisition of Reel One.
