Marco Chimenz has concluded his tenure at Federation Studios, departing the company after two years. He initially joined Federation in 2023 with a mandate to streamline the studio and prepare it for a potential sale in the United States. Chimenz brought extensive experience, having spent over two decades at Italy's prominent ITV-Cattleya, known for producing 'Gomorrah.'
During his time, Chimenz collaborated with Alessandro Usai to establish No Name Entertainment, a new film and TV venture in Italy. Federation Studios, a robust production, financing, and distribution entity, encompasses 35 production companies globally, including Vertigo Films in London and Fabula Pictures in Italy.

This structural adjustment signifies a new phase for the studio's leadership. Both Breton and Chimenz expressed mutual well wishes for future endeavors.
