Beta Film has bought into RubyRock Pictures, the U.K.-based shingle set up by Zoe Rocha. Germany-based film and TV production and distribution outfit Beta will hold a minority stake in RubyRock, which is working up a slate of English-language drama for the international market.
Rocha said that the Beta deal was a “great vote of confidence in our uniquely punky but premium slate.” She added: “We look forward to working with them on projects that are [a] natural fit with Beta’s expertise and will benefit from their wide industry reach.”
The fledgling producer has several projects in the works, including “The Heartless,” about the indie music scene in early 1990s London. It is being written by Lucie Barat (“Spotless”) and exec produced by her brother, Carl, the co-frontman of The Libertines. RubyRock is also working on a feminist horror anthology, “Her Horror.” France’s Wild Bunch is on board the latter series.
