FilmRise, the New York-based studio and streaming network, has signed a multi-faceted deal with LA-based Nicely Entertainment to produce and distribute two new feature films in the US along with US VoD distribution rights for over 20 family-friendly romance and holiday-centric films.

As part of the package, FilmRise will also co-produce and exclusively distribute in the US two new holiday themed movies in the US – Sappy Holiday and Snowball Effect – along with two newly completed productions from Nicely in Adeline and romcom Snapshot to Love.

Max Einhorn, SVP, Acquisitions and Co-Productions for FilmRise, commented: “Nicely’s production expertise in the family friendly romance genre makes them the perfect partner for FilmRise to continue to grow its presence in this vertical, which includes growing our offerings of programs and building proprietary destinations in the streaming space. We are delighted to be partnering with Nicely so that audiences will be able to watch festive, feel-good films any time of the year.”
