Shane’s World has enjoyed a very close professional relationship with Hush-Hush Entertainment, a studio best known for its “Blackzilla” series featuring Shane Diesel. The acquisition doesn’t involve major personnel changes and Stokes said the companies would essentially merge resources, facilities, production and staff under the Shane’s World banner.
“This acquisition was a no-brainer for us,” Shane's World co-owner Jennie Grant said. “Hush-Hush Entertainment is a leader in quality reality content. They have made a huge name for themselves with their many brands. The ability to bring another strong reality powerhouse into the fold gives us the chance to diversify our content and expand into even more markets.”
Shane’s World will take over distribution of Hush-Hush Entertainment movies beginning January 1. Shane’s World already distributes Freaky Deaky Entertainment, Bone Digital and Voodoo House, which are all powered by Hush-Hush.
“They made me an offer I couldn’t refuse,” Hush-Hush CEO Andrew S. said.
“Personally, the thing I am looking forward to is becoming the one-stop shop for all reality gonzo content,” Stokes said. “This puts us in a great position to grow both brands. We have amazing synergy together and I’m excited about what’s ahead for us.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
