Anonymous Content has struck a partnership with Brouhaha Entertainment, the production banner behind “Boy Swallows Universe,” on a new joint venture in Australia and New Zealand.
Under the deal, Brouhaha will be working closely with AC Studios to develop and produce premium film and television projects. The first project stemming from the joint venture will be “Panopticon,” a TV series written by Australian screenwriter and director Craig Rosenberg, the showrunner of hit show “Based on a True Story” starring Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina.
This partnership marks the latest international joint venture for Anonymous Content as they continue to build partnerships with local producers and companies in key territories around the world. As part of its strategy to ramp up its global footprint, the group has launched Anonymous Content Brazil, Anonymous Content España, France-based Anonymous Federation, Anonymous Content Nordic, and U.K.-based AC Chapter One.
David Davoli, Anonymous Content’s president of international, will oversee the joint venture alongside Brouhaha’ Entertainment’s Troy Lum, Andrew Mason and Gabrielle Tana.

“With the recent success we had making ‘Boy Swallows Universe’ with Brouhaha, it only made sense to explore a larger partnership with Troy and the Brouhaha team,” said Davoli, adding that “Australia and New Zealand have incredible artists and world class incentives.”
“As global streamers are prioritizing the territory, the opportunity to have Troy and Brouhaha as part of our portfolio of international joint ventures felt right at this time,” Davoli continued.
Lum, meanwhile, said “Brouhaha is deeply connected to its roots and we believe that there is untapped potential here in Australia and New Zealand with its incredible resources and talent base.”
“A strategic alliance with a global force such as Anonymous will enable and empower this potential in the years to come,” Lum continued.
AC International previously worked with Brouhaha Entertainment on “Boy Swallows Universe.” Other recent AC International credits include “Best Interests,” produced by the U.K. banner AC Chapter One. Upcoming projects include “Snow Sister” via Anonymous Content Nordic, as well as “Perfect Days” and a documentary series about Brazilian football player Sócrates, directed by Walter Salles, via Anonymous Content Brazil.
