Pig & Horse Productions will focus on developing socially impactful documentaries and unscripted TV formats for global distribution.

The first project is Reflections of Gaugin (1×80′), an investigative art mystery doc which is being produced in partnership with former Fremantle Finland head of development Anssi Rimpelä.

Rimpelä, who has over 20 years of experience producing formats, will also work with Pig & Horse on other projects. The exec’s credits include localising global formats in Finland such as Pop Idol, Got Talent and The X Factor. He is now the CEO of creative studio Up to Level Media, which he founded in 2017.

Pig & Horse will unveil additional slate developments and original formats in the coming months. The prodco has attended Sheffield Doc Fest this week and will also attend Sunny Side of the Doc next week.

Kozma said: “We prioritise creative collaboration and the perfect example of this is our work with Anssi to showcase a range of unique unscripted formats and documentaries, including the trailblazing feature doc Reflections of Gaugin. Our slate will focus on stories from around the world, told through fresh and unique perspectives.”

Rimpelä added: “The international unscripted landscape is in a moment of reinvention, and Pig & Horse is uniquely positioned to meet that demand with bold, meaningful storytelling rooted in European creativity, designed for global audiences.

“This side of the industry is also catching up with the coproduction and co-development model that scripted has favoured for a long time, so I’m looking forward to developing a slate that brings both edge and heart to the international market.”
