In a new partnership, Waypoint Entertainment — Ken Kao’s shingle behind The Favourite — will co-finance and produce a slate of films with producer-distributor Neon.
Described as a “strategic financial partnership,” the pact is non-exclusive. No new projects were announced as a part of the new partnership, but Kao said in a statement that the films will be in the $10-million-plus range that “often get overlooked by studios and streamers.”
Kao’s statement continued: “This collaboration echoes our mutual ethos of championing films with innovative storytelling and ensuring they resonate deeply with hungry audiences.”
Neon recently launched an international sales division, and will be handling global distribution on the Waypoint titles.
“Ken Kao and the Waypoint team have long demonstrated their commitment and unique ability to create bold, beautiful cinema,” offered Neon Founder and CEO Tom Quinn. “We’re beyond thrilled to join forces and continue to ramp up Neon’s...

Neon has formed a strategic financial partnership with Ken Kao’s Waypoint Entertainment, the full-service production company behind The Favourite and The Nice Guys, to deliver a slate “of bold, genre-spanning films for savvy theatrical audiences,” the distributor said. The partners will focus on larger indies in the $10+ million range.
Neon said the investment will expand its production and distribution arms. A non-exclusive venture, it comes after Neon and Waypoint’s recent collaboration on Tilman Singer’s Cuckoo starring Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens, which debuted in the U.S. at SXSW following its world premiere in Berlin last month. Neon will release Cuckoo in theaters this spring.
There were no details of Waypoint’s financial commitment or the number of films contemplated. Neon, led by Tom Quinn, said further details on the slate will be announced in the near future.

Neon is bolstering its production and distribution capabilities with a new financial investment from the producers of its most recent film, “Cuckoo,” which just screened at the SXSW Film Festival.
Indie-studio Neon has formed a strategic financial partnership with Waypoint Entertainment, a production company led by producer Ken Kao that’s been behind films like “The Favourite” and “The Nice Guys.” Together, the two companies will work on a slate of genre films intended for theatrical release.
The deal is non-exclusive, and no details on the slate of films were announced today — but the films will be indies in the $10 million+ range. The investment should give Neon a bit more financial firepower to compete with the likes of A24. Neon will handle global distribution on each of Waypoint’s titles via its newly-launched international sales division.
