Fledgling content creator Compadre has teamed up with Nicolas Chartier’s Voltage Pictures to co-finance the coming-of-age comedy.

Chris McCoy directs Good Kids starring Nicholas Braun and Zoey Deutch and Voltage is producing alongside Depth Of Field. Production in Massachusetts is scheduled to wrap on October 15.

Gerard Barba and Emmanuel Paintendre are behind the new Compadre Entertainment, which is based in Los Angeles and Miami and aims to co-finance and produce up to five features a year in the $5m-$30m range.

“We’re excited to help launch this venture with Gerard and Emmanuel,” said Chartier (pictured). “It’s great to find like-minded people who share our passion for great stories and that’s what this business really needs.”

“We’ve been talking to Voltage for some time now and can’t think of a better partner or project on which to launch this exciting new venture,” said Barba. “We’re hoping this will be the first of more”. 

Voltage’s Dominic Rustam brokered the deal with Glenn D Feig for Compadre.
