Former CAA agent Brian Kavanaugh-Jones has left Range Media Partners to join Backrooms producer Oddfellows as partner and co-president, alongside the studio’s founder Chris Ferguson.
The duo have produced 24 film and TV projects together since 2013, including The Monkey, Longlegs and the upcoming The Young People from Osgood Perkins. Kavanaugh-Jones joining Oddfellows follows Ferguson signing a first-look deal with Warner Bros. Picture Group.
Ferguson also produced Kane Parsons’ Backrooms, A24’s highest grossing film at $396 million in global box office. Kavanaugh-Jones is leaving his role as co-president Range Media Partners, a post he held alongside Fred Berger. In his new Oddfellows role, Kavanaugh-Jones focus on production and strategic growth.
“Since founding Oddfellows, Brian has been my closest producing partner. He brings phenomenal taste and talent relationships alongside a wide ranging entrepreneurial vision that is going to be vital to plotting out an ambitious course in this new chapter for the company,” Ferguson said in a statement. “Beyond all that we’ve had nothing but fun producing movies all over the world together for the last 15 years and I look forward to doing it for 15 more.”
