Brilliant Pictures encompasses worldwide sales, marketing, production, finance and distribution for film and TV. With offices in London and Rome, Brilliant specialises in high end, commercially orientated, talent driven content that appeals to audience appetites globally.
Combining 50 years in sales and media content management, Brilliant is the joint-venture of film industry mogul Sean O’Kelly and veteran sales agent Marc Bikindou. Brilliant brings together some of the world’s leading visionary filmmakers, ensuring content is packaged with the most in-demand talent whilst keeping within budgets – de-risking projects for distributors and SVOD providers and returning profitable sales revenues.
Brilliant represents a library of over 100 completed feature films and TV series and an evolving slate, made by the world’s most iconic filmmaking talent.
Brilliant’s executive services include facilitating talent packaging, executive production, pre-sales, tax-credit facilities, equity, mezzanine and gap financing arrangements.
Designed to capitalise on the new COVID era, Brilliant comprises a unique new business model that harnesses the now insatiable demand for high-quality content via online streaming giants, as well as traditional distribution channels.
Since the pandemic, content consumption has fundamentally shifted with audiences turning to Netflix and other SVOD platforms like Amazon Prime and Disney+. Original content is paramount to maintaining competitive advantage for SVOD platforms, with Netflix investing 85% of its $13 billion budget on sourcing original content during 2018 and a predicted $18 billion spend for 2020/21. $1 billion will be spent in the UK alone, as Netflix’ most important production hub. Movie theatres have been forced to slash holdbacks and embrace a new limited theatrical release model that aligns with SVOD.
The, still rapidly evolving, landscape requires an agile, quick-thinking and collaborative approach. Brilliant is uniquely positioned to act as a conduit – a rights store – between content creators, rights owners, talent and SVOD platforms, enabling the seamless delivery of exclusive and original content to audiences worldwide. Brilliant sees the future of film and will be positioned at its epicenter by taking advantage and adapting ahead of its competition.
