CosMedia, the Toronto-based firm launched by former Bell Media exec Mike Cosentino, is moving into Latin America following a deal with Incendo.

The agreement with the Montreal-based firm will see CosMedia representing Incendo’s film catalogue to buyers in Latin America, with shows such as romantic comedy Be Mine, Valentine included.

Cosentino launched CosMedia in 2021, having been head of content & programming at Bell Media before his exit 18 months ago. It struck a produciton pact with Fremantle in August 2021.

He said: “Canadian producers like Incendo are behind some of the most-watched movies commissioned for TV audiences in the US and abroad, and our goal is to create partnerships and a pipeline to deliver best-in-class titles with expert localisation to audiences across Latin America.”

Incendo’s MD, Brook Peters, added: “Having collaborated with Mike in various areas of our business for many years, Incendo is delighted to partner with CosMedia.Inc and have our content brands expanded into the lucrative Latin American market.”
