RS Productions is an independent film and audiovisual company working across production, distribution and innovation, based in Milan. Founded in 2019 by an entrepreneurial group with long experience in media and publishing, it was built on a model new to the Italian market: bringing together, within a single company, the development and production of content, its distribution in Italy and abroad, and the technological and entrepreneurial innovation of the sector.
Production
RS Productions develops and produces feature films, documentaries and series, both in-house and in co-production with Italian and international partners, following every project from the first idea to the screen.
Distribution
The company distributes its own titles and those of third-party producers in cinemas across Italy and, through the major streaming platforms, in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan. Handling distribution directly allows RS to accompany each title along the whole chain, from production to audience.
Innovation
Attentive to a market in constant change, where the habits of new generations and technological progress are reshaping how content is consumed, RS Productions works through studios equipped with advanced audiovisual production technology, with which it builds cross-media projects. It is also the promoter of IMMEDIATE, the first European business accelerator in the Media and Entertainment sectors: a creative and technological hub offering start-ups production tools and communication channels, alongside coaching and legal, financial and marketing support, to accelerate projects in video production, digital marketing, advertising, music, publishing, gamification and new technologies.
The model is completed by two shareholdings that cover the two ends of the chain.
Pepito Produzioni
