Westbrook Inc. is an American multimedia and entertainment venture company founded by actor Will Smith and his wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith . The company was founded in 2019, in order to execute the Smith Family's global content with Will Smith's production company Overbrook Entertainment becoming one of its subsidiaries.[2] It is headquartered in Calabasas, California , with 80 employees as of March 2021.[3]
In August 2021, the company announced that they signed a first-look deal with National Geographic and will produce their productions with National Geographic.[4]
Westbrook's debut film, King Richard , garnered widespread acclaim and earned numerous awards including six nominations (including Best Picture ; the first nomination for this company) at 94th Academy Awards and four nominations at the 79th Golden Globe Awards (including Best Motion Picture – Drama ), winning Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama for Smith.
In January 2022, Candle Media announced that they purchased a strategic minority investment 10% stake in Westbrook, Inc.[5] Two days later in that month, Westbrook announced that they launched their own international division and had acquired Germany-based film and television distribution sales company Telepool and its division Global Screen, marking Westbrook's first international expansion.[6]
However two years later on May 8 2024, Westbrook announced that their selling its German international sales unit Telepool to French-based European production studio Vuelta Group and the latter merged Telepool with their Munich-based producer and distributor subsidiary SquareOne Entertainment.[7]
