Blue Fox Entertainment
Blue Fox Entertainment is actively acquiring international sales rights to Tubi Original YA romantic comedies, bringing a freshly greenlit franchise third installment and two new titles to the international marketplace.
Current mandate
Blue Fox Entertainment is currently positioned as the dedicated international sales partner for Tubi Originals, with a clear focus on YA romantic comedies that have demonstrated cross-border audience traction. Most recently, the company acquired international sales rights for the newly greenlit third installment of the Tubi Original franchise Sidelined: The QB and Me, extending a relationship built on the prior performance of The Bad Boy and Me and its sequel in international markets. President Lisa Gutberlet and Kalani Dreimanis are the named deal principals on the Blue Fox side, with Erica Novich brokering on behalf of Tubi.
Over the past 12 months, Blue Fox has logged 16 tracked activity records, with its acquisition pattern centering on completed and greenlit Tubi Original titles rather than spec or festival-circuit material. The two YA rom-coms How to Lose a Popularity Contest and Kissing Is the Easy Part were acquired for international distribution outside the U.S. and Canada, with a planned sales launch at the Toronto International Film Festival. The Sidelined franchise continuation signals that Blue Fox is doubling down on proven IP with established streaming provenance rather than sourcing new or unproduced material.
Filmmakers and rights holders seeking Blue Fox's attention should note that the company's current pipeline flows directly through its Tubi partnership. The most viable access point is through established relationships with Tubi's distribution team (Erica Novich is the named Tubi contact) or by presenting completed or near-completed projects that fit the YA romantic comedy profile Blue Fox is actively selling internationally. Cold outreach on unproduced scripts is unlikely to align with the current mandate.
