CCI ENTERTAINMENT TAKES GENERAL PURPOSE PICTURES SLATE AROUND THE GLOBE

A new partnership brings an additional three quality titles to the CCI library

CCI Entertainment’s Co-Chairman Arnie Zipursky is pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached with General Purpose Pictures for a series of their latest titles. The deal will see The Heat, The Fix and Save Us From Our House added to CCI’s ever- growing library and will give CCI the ability to distribute the lifestyle shows internationally.

“We are really excited about the addition of these new titles” said Zipursky, “They are a great mix of entertainment, high production value and even provide some helpful advice to viewers. They will really round out our library and allow us to bring what is in demand to our broadcasters world wide.”
“GPP has been working hard at producing innovative and entertaining shows for the last six years and we're excited about bringing our library to CCI” says Executive Producer at General Purpose Pictures, Scott McNeil. “In the lifestyle TV genre we're able to tell real stories about real people in a thoughtful and engaging way and this partnership with CCI extends the reach of our stories to a global audience. It's a great fit for both our companies.
The Heat is a 39 x 30 minute live action series that gives insight into A-list Chef Mark McEwan’s restaurant kitchens, catering business, and all the ups and downs that come with cooking for a crowd.

The Fix is a half hour renovation show that fools families into thinking they are getting a free home makeover only to then surprise and astound them by transforming their house with outrageous and absurd décor.

Save Us From Our House is a 91 x 30 minute renovation reality series that provides relationship advice as well as design and décor advice to frantic families who are bursting at the seams.
