About
Oliver Simon and Daniel Baur founded K5 International in January 2007. Since then the company has repped films like THE VISITOR starring Richard Jenkins, GET LOW starring Robert Duvall and Bill Murray and TOAST starring Helena Bonham Carter and Freddie Highmore.
In June 2009 Sascha R. Prestel partnered up with Oliver Simon and Daniel Baur in order to run the business development of the K5 Media Group. Carl Clifton joined as new partner for sales & marketing in October 2010.
The newly configured company combines international sales expertise and an in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the business. Through its extensive relationships, K5 International has access to the most dynamic buyers worldwide. K5 understands both the distributors and the markets they operate in and as such is the perfect partner and an ideal home for producers and their projects at all stages. K5‘s focus is on commercial but distinctive English language productions with no restrictions as regards genre or budget. K5 International works closely with its producers in all aspects of the production and sales cycle — financing, production, sales & marketing, distribution and collection.
K5 International is uniquely positioned in being able to offer co-production partnerships with Germany through its sister company, K5 Film, which has an excellent track record in accessing film production subsidies throughout the German-speaking market.
The combined strengths of the partners’ wide-ranging experience and successes over a long period, the financing power that its base in 3 key international centres and its access to those centres’ funding sources, mean that K5 International can offer the producer an unparalleled range of financing, production and international sales opportunities.
