Front Berner is an accelerator for early stage film, television, and new media projects. We invest with creative people developing great entertainment. The next hit movie or series is out there, ready to emerge when the right elements of talent and material react. Front Berner supports that initial reaction, and hopes to share in the success.

• Front Berner invests in development projects in film, television, and documentaries.

• We invest with directors, showrunners, screenwriters, and producers who have great ideas that require further development to complete or refine the package or pitch.

• Front Berner invested in The Kennedy Women, to be directed by Ted Melfi and acquired by Alcon Television, and invested in and produced Reinventing Mirazur (2021), a Tribeca film festival official selection now available on Canal+ Docs.
