EXCLUSIVE: U.S. firm Epic Pictures Group has acquired Film Seekers, the UK and France-based sales and production company.
The acquisition is intended to expand Epic’s sales and production footprint and grow its catalog. As part of the deal, Caroline Couret-Delègue will join Epic Pictures Group as President of Sales and Content.
Couret-Delègue previously worked at Metrodome, Seven Arts and AV Pictures, and went on to launch Truffle Pictures and Film Seekers, followed by Film Seekers France in 2022. Set to join Epic during this year’s Cannes market, she will report to CEO of Epic Pictures Group, Patrick Ewald and CFO Katie Page.

“I’m thrilled to join Epic Pictures Group—this partnership feels like a natural step in today’s evolving market. Patrick Ewald has built an exceptional studio, and we share a strong commitment to filmmakers. Together, we’ll expand our global reach and better support the films we champion,” said Couret-Delègue.
“I met Caroline on the IFTA board during COVID and was immediately impressed by her leadership and insight,” said Patrick Ewald. “With her at the helm and Film Seekers’ strong catalog, we’re well-positioned to accelerate our global growth and continue delivering bold, innovative storytelling.”
