GDH Launches GO-N Productions

Paris, France - August 24, 2004 - There is a new company in the animation industry : GO-N Productions, backed by Japanese animation company GDH, was recently formed in Paris, France.

A partnership was formed on June 4, 2004 in Paris to establish GO-N Productions by three partners : Eric Garnet (previously Producer at Antefilms, France), Anne de Galard (formerly Head of development in the same company) who both have great experience in the French and European markets, and GDH K.K., a leading enterprise of Japanese animation, have decided to join forces to develop and produce French and European animation. Furthermore GO-N Productions and GDH will investigate Japanese / French collaboration to develop business opportunities for the two companies.

GO-N Productions is determined to make use of GDH's creative Japan-US network and take advantage of GDH's operations in the Japanese and Asian markets. GDH plans to closely collaborate with GO-N Productions to strengthen its entry in the EU, including searching for original stories and graphic design from France and the creation of French/Japanese animation. The two companies intend to leverage their partner's strengths in production to work on global joint production projects and facilitate the entrance of each in the partner's domestic market.

GDH has an overseas base in Los Angeles and London and is actively promoting overseas exposure of its consumer brands (Gonzo and Gonzino). Through the partnership with GO-N Productions and its investment in the company, GDH plans to further develop global titles and is specifically looking to implement expansion of business opportunities in the world market.
