Former Kew Media Distribution sales boss Jonathan Ford has launched new distribution company Abacus Media Rights (Amr) in partnership with Amcomri Media Group.
Amcomri, whose other entertainment investments include 101 Films, 101 International and Hollywood Classics, has provided Abacus Media Rights with a funding line to support rights acquisitions.
