    Prominent icons in the Philippine entertainment industry, Iza Calzado, Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Ruffa Gutierrez, Raymond Gutierrez, Richard Gutierrez, JM Rodriguez, and Karylle Tatlonghari-Yuzon, are now aboard team iflix–Asia’s fastest growing Internet TV service–as shareholders and partners in the business.

    The announcement follows a succession of landmark partnerships with industry leaders such as the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT), Smart Communications, and Samsung Philippines.

    Mark Britt, iflix group co-founder and CEO, said: “It is a tremendous honor to have exceptional celebrities of such caliber join us as shareholders. Now, along with our advisory board of Hollywood’s most elite executives, we have unquestionably one of the most formidable profiles and strongest networks in the entertainment industry both in the Philippines and internationally.”

    “At iflix, we are committed to working with the best partners in all areas from technology and content to marketing and distribution. These partnerships with the Philippines’ leading entertainment icons are a testament of this pledge. We look forward to benefiting from their tremendous experiences and wealth of knowledge about the entertainment industry in their role as our advisors,” Britt added.

With Iza, Jasmine, Ruffa, Raymond, Richard, JM and Karylle, we believe we are able to take strong, forward steps down that path together.”

    As partners in the business, the new shareholders will also share their prowess and experience in jointly developing projects for iflix original productions. This is in lieu of the iflix’s plans to create original content, with committed budgets and negotiations with independent local producers and studios.
