Cinespace Film Studios, a leading service provider to the television, film and digital streaming industry, was founded by three brothers with an extraordinary vision.  During their growth, they successfully transitioned the business to a second generation. 

It was after this transition that The Mirkopoulous family assessed their strategic options; ultimately concluding that a sale to a strategic acquirer would accelerate the next stage of the company’s growth. The deal has elevated Cinespace, now the second largest independent owner of sound stages in North America and a world-leading studio/real estate platform for film, tv and media production. 

In this session you will hear how a 35 year-old family-owned and operated business pivoted from succession mindset to a search for a strategic acquirer.    What pledges did the acquirer make to satisfy the operating family and what changed the course of this family transition and ultimately lead to a successful transition?
