“This collaboration with GPS aligns perfectly with our strategic vision to expand Miramax TV’s global footprint in both traditional and emerging international territories that continue to see break out success on global platforms,” said Marc Helwig, Miramax’s EVP and Head of Global Television.

GPS’ business is built on generating international TV series by bringing genre IP, development funding, creative collaboration, deficit and distribution resources to key markets worldwide.

“GPS was created to meet an ascending demand for premium local series and feature films by storytellers from across the globe,” said the Fursts. “We’ve found exceptional partners in Miramax TV, whose global outlook and commitment to quality storytelling are so precisely aligned with our mandate.”

Prior to forming GPS, the Fursts served as Co-Presidents of Film and Television at Skybound Entertainment, where they packaged, developed and sold movies and series in the U.S., Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, including the recently launched African Netflix series Classified. Their additional credits include Universal Pictures’ Renfield, Golden Globe-nominated The Matador, Oscar-nominated feature The Cooler, Showtime comedy series Dice and CW sci-fi series Star-Crossed.

On the film side, Miramax’s The Holdovers recently received 5 Oscar nominations and has earned Critics Choice, Golden Globe and BAFTA nods for Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joy Randolph. The indie studio’s Jason Statham starrer The Beekeeper continues to perform at the boxoffice, so far earning more than $143 million worldwide.

The Furst Brothers were repped in the deal by CAA and Shep Rosenman & Jennifer Justman at RLG.
