Together, Alyx Films and Geronimo are co-producing his first short film and feature, while also developing a hybrid talk show for an SVOD platform.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe partnership reflects Toledano Detaille\u2019s broader ambition for Alyx Films: to build premium fiction, international formats and projects mixing traditional and digital culture.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tToledano Detaille brings more than two decades of experience across the French and international TV business, having held senior roles at Endemol, Banijay, Newen, Studio TF1 and Lagard\u00e8re Studios \u2013 where she was an associate producer on Netflix France\u2019s first original documentary series, \u201cGr\u00e9gory.\u201d In 2021, she co-founded Story Nation within Mediawan, where she produced both fiction and documentary projects. Alongside \u201cEscort Boys,\u201d she also brought the U.S. format \u201cHot Ones\u201d to France, where it has run for four seasons on Canal+ and YouTube. After years inside France\u2019s biggest media companies, she says launching her own independent company felt like the natural next step because it will allow her to \u201cown and control the IPs of the shows (she produces).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cThe industry is shifting very fast, and I believe independent structures are better equipped to adapt to new formats, new talents and new ways of producing,\u201d she tells <em>Variety<\/em>. \u201cFreedom, agility and human connection are key to work with the new generation of creators and talents. And I believe that this is exactly what you get when you become independent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSpeaking of her drive to work with creators, she says she feels inspired by \u201ctheir freedom and boldness,\u201d as well as their \u201cstrong connection to their audience.\u201d \u201cThey have a real-time understanding of their audience that traditional systems don\u2019t have. They test, fail, adjust and succeed much faster than we do in film and TV.\u201d She adds that digital creators are also particularly savvy and often know how to \u201cproduce, write, act, direct and edit themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=2883\">\u2018Strictly Business\u2019 Cannes Lions Edition: Fox\u2019s Rob Wade and Billy Parks Bet on Bringing Scale to the Business of Creators<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tFor Toledano Detaille, Geronimo stood out not only because of his online reach, but was \u201calready thinking like a filmmaker, not just a content creator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cComing from the development side and the international format business, I always tried to find what I call high concepts and IPs with international potential. It is exactly what I felt that I found when I discovered Geronimo\u2019s work,\u201d she says.  <\/p>\n<p>\n\tDetaille argues that the next wave of premium storytelling could come from pairing online-native creators with experienced film and television writers, producers and executives. She points to the growing number of digital creators making the leap into long-form, citing the low-budget horror smash hit \u201cObsession,\u201d written and directed by YouTube creators, as well as the French phenomenon \u201cKaizen,\u201d from YouTube creator Inoxtag which had a successful run in local theaters.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cThis shows us that online creators are ready for successful long-form storytelling and that investors and commissioners should look closer at them than ever,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAlyx Films is also developing adaptations of international scripted and unscripted IP, including negotiations to adapt another Israeli series for the French market, building on Toledano Detaille\u2019s experience on \u201cEscort Boys.\u201d The Prime Video series, written and directed by Ruben Alves, ran for two seasons and became one of the most high-profile French streaming comedies in recent years. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=2881\">\u2018Ladies of London\u2019 Reboot on Pause at Bravo<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charlotte Toledano Detaille, the former Mediawan producer behind Prime Video\u2019s streaming hit &#8216;Escort Boys,&#8217; is launching Alyx Films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2885,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2440,2441,1211],"class_list":["post-2886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-film","tag-alyx-films","tag-charlotte-toledano-detaille","tag-mediawan-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
