Mon Voisin Productions

What Mon Voisin Productions does

Mon Voisin Productions is a French film and television production company founded in 2008 by Dominique Besnehard and Michel Feller and headquartered at 46 avenue de Breteuil in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. The company produces a diversified catalog of creative content spanning feature films (longs-métrages) for theatrical release, television series, standalone TV movies (unitaires TV) — particularly crime dramas in the Meurtres à... franchise — documentary films, and short films developed through the Talents Adami Cannes talent-development program co-produced with ADAMI. Since 2008, the company has produced 16+ feature films and 11+ serialized seasons, including the four-season flagship Dix pour Cent (Call My Agent!), which won the International Emmy Award for Best Comedy Series in 2021. Underlying technology consists entirely of traditional film and television production workflows — there is no proprietary software platform, SaaS offering, or API disclosed.

The company's business model is project-based and revenue is generated through multiple, parallel streams: theatrical distribution via French distributors (Gaumont, UGC, Le Pacte, Pyramide, Diaphana); one-time license and multi-window licensing royalties from French TV broadcasters (France 2, France 3, Canal+/Ciné+, OCS, Arte France) for TV movies, series, and documentaries; international sales through agents (Mediawan Rights, France Télévisions Distribution, Gaumont International); and co-production revenue-sharing with partner production companies (Mother Production, Thelma Films, Qui Vive!, Epithète Films, Iris Films) and public broadcasters. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per project. The company is a privately held SAS (capital €45,000) operating as a subsidiary of Mediawan Group, a major European audiovisual conglomerate, with the founders remaining actively involved. Customer segments are primarily French broadcast and cinema audiences, served through French-language programming across genres (drama, comedy, crime/mystery, documentary, coming-of-age).
