Gavin Tyler Reardon

Howard Braunstein, Alexandre Coscas, Michael R. Goldstein and Ben C. Silverman, the producers behind Timeless Pictures and Howard Braunstein Films, have partnered to set up Leading Distribution Partners (LDP), a new LA-based sales company.

LDP will be led by Gavin Tyler Reardon, who has been appointed president of global distribution, with Braunstein, Coscas, Goldstein and Silverman all serving as partners at the company.

Prior to joining LDP, Reardon headed sales and co-productions for Incendo, the Canadian production and distribution company known for the Netflix series Versailles. Following his exit, Effi Eustace was upped to SVP of sales for the Americas.

Reardon has also previously held president positions at IM Global Television, Action! Distribution and GRB Entertainment.

The firm will license both their original and third-party content to the global market across TV movies, series and feature films. LDP is launching at MIPCOM 2023 with a catalogue of titles that includes recent and forthcoming Hallmark Channel and Lifetime TV original television movies across thrillers, rom-com, holiday and mystery genres.

Its launch slate includes Hallmark Original mystery titles Curious Caterer: Grilling Season and Curious Caterer: Fatal Vows; rom-coms Game of Love, A Winning Team; and Sealed with a List; alongside holiday movies Holiday Road and My Norwegian Holiday.

“Through the formation of LDP, the partners have established a company that is ideally positioned to be an ongoing and go-to supplier of top-quality TV movies and additional content to buyers across the world.

“We look forward to meeting with potential new partners at MIPCOM and to continue curating a slate of top-class content across multiple genres for the long-term,” said Reardon.
