A new content company will focus on acquisitions and distribution, with plans for Film & TV development and production.

The Reset Collective has been formed from Cornerstone Films (UK / US), Genesius Pictures (UK) and distribution executive Lisa Garner (Warner Bros Home Entertainment, Icon, Rialto Distribution).

The group will be based out of Sydney with a further presence through its UK and LA based principals and is fully financed by London-based Genesius Pictures.

The production arm will prioritise emerging Australian filmmakers and digital platforms looking to develop international content.

Mark Gooder and Alison Thompson said, “We have been looking for unique opportunities to expand on the success of Cornerstone Films since we launched five years ago. Australia has always been a key territory for us both personally and commercially. Challenging times often reveal unseen opportunities and we are excited to be part of this new adventure at a critical moment in the content business.”

Lisa Garner added, “At the core of The Reset Collective are a group of partners who have a passion for story telling and I couldn’t be more thrilled to join such an experienced team at a moment of evolution in the distribution business”.

Genesius Pictures’ Debbie Gray and Julian Gleek also noted, “We are so excited to be working with Lisa Garner and Cornerstone on this unique opportunity to create a vertically integrated content business. Working with Australian creatives to develop and produce great stories is a significant evolution for Genesius Pictures’ content business”.
