TORONTO -- Kids movie producers Knightscove Family Films Inc. and Random Harvest Pictures Ltd. on Wednesday said that they are forming a joint venture to co-produce a slate of family pictures that tap tax-driven Canadian and British financing sources. Toronto-based Knightscove president and CEO Leif Bristow said his company and Random Harvest have shared goals to produce or finance commercially driven projects aimed at young people. Bristow and Alistair Maclean-Clark, a former Walt Disney Co. executive and managing director of Random Harvest, made the announcement midway through the Toronto International Film Festival. Film projects to come from the joint venture will be mostly U.K.-Canadian co-productions, snagging financial incentives available in both markets for homegrown pictures meeting content requirements.
