As a trusted steward of intellectual property for rights owners, Abramorama, will have full access to Giant’s marketing services, and enterprise-level support around encoding, quality control, subtitling, storage, and delivery. Cantwell and Martesko-Fenster negotiated on behalf of Abramorama. Giant was represented by the company’s general manager Nick Savva and Jeff Stabenau.

Savva said, Giant and Abramorama share a passion both for high quality documentary and non-fiction content as well as innovation in distribution models. We are thrilled to partner on the Abramorama Selects imprint to provide seamless access to OTT and streaming platforms worldwide.”
