Federation Studios has taken a majority stake in Lapinxa Production, the new banner of Laetitia Recayte, an established French TV executive and producer.
Recayte was most recently managing director of Robin & Co, Jean-Yves Robin’s company which was acquired by Federation Studios in 2022. Recayte, who is always up for a new challenge, started her career more than 30 years ago at Marathon, the first company co-created by Breton, and she later joined Telfrance which became Newen in 2008. Recayte headed Newen Distribution for a number of years, before joining TV France International (which is now Unifrance) as president in 2015. She also worked alongside France Televisions president Delphine Ernotte Cunci to head the public broadcaster’s commercial development. Recayte also collaborated with Cnc president Dominique Boutonnat and Cannes mayor David Lisnard on key missions.
Lapinxa Production already has a premium series in the pipeline, “Les Reclus,” a four-part documentary which has been commissioned by Canal+.
