PVP Media (Tom Sawyer, Trulli Tales) has launched a sales division that will be run by former Millimages exec Johanna Veysset as head of distribution and acquisitions. 

The Quebec-based prodco quietly began to set up PVP Distribution in April with financial support from the Québecor Fund and the Canada Media Fund. It will focus on selling children’s programming and documentaries internationally and is looking to represent proprietary titles as well as content from third-party producers. Veysset is starting to build a catalogue now and will be at Annecy next week on the hunt for animated and live-action series for preschoolers to teens. 

PVP Media is currently developing an animated series called Goose and Cloud (39 x seven minutes) with CBC Kids attached. It centers around a young gosling leaving his family nest, who learns to understand and process the new emotions he’s feeling with a little help from his friend Cloud. And in terms of completed series, the studio also has Cosmo the Dodo (11 minutes) and Gaumont co-pro Belle and Sebastian (52 x 11 minutes) under its belt.  

Before joining PVP, Veysset worked as a specialist consultant in international distribution for clients including Syon Media, Prestigo Storyverse, Amuse Animation, KO Distribution and ToonDraw. Prior to that, she held a marketing position at Millimages.
