# Westbrook (company)

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. It is headquartered in Calabasas, California, with 80 employees as of March 2021.
In August 2021, the company announced that they signed a first-look deal with National Geographic and will produce their productions with National Geographic.
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. 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.
However two years later on May 8, 2024, Westbrook announced that they were 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.
