Molly Conners Teams Up with Mondevo Group in Abu Dhabi to Launch Phiphen International

EXCLUSIVE: Molly Conners, a producer known for her work on films such as Butcher’s Crossing and Turbulence, has announced a new collaboration with the Abu Dhabi-based Mondevo Group to launch Piphen International.

This new label serves as an international extension of Conners’ existing U.S. company, Piphen. It aims to function as “an international co-production platform and media fund operating across EMEA and APAC.” The partnership also seeks to expand Conners’ Phiphen Games into these regions. Conners will take on the role of CEO.

The collaboration marks Mondevo Group’s first venture into the global film and media sector, having previously specialized in AI-native technology, wealth management, and venture capital for high-net-worth families. The group’s cultural and creative subdivision, MondeVita, had previously invested in the Parma-based tailoring house, Raffaele Caruso.

Piphen’s upcoming slate of U.S. film projects includes titles like Midge, WTF: What the F**k Is My Password, Mattress Mack, The Stalemate, and Somedays.

Piphen has produced over 30 film and television projects. Conners is also a co-founder of Harpoon Media, a social media marketing agency, and oversees Phiphen Games, which publishes independent video games such as Blue Fire and Ruffy and the Riverside.

Fabio Brambilla, co-founder and Group CEO of Mondevo Group, stated: “Film and media are among the most powerful forms of expression a group like ours can engage with seriously. Phiphen brings a track record of genuine creative excellence and courage—exactly the standard Mondevo Group holds for every partnership it builds across its MondeVita platform. It is the beginning of something we intend to build seriously, over time, together.”

Conners expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, saying: “This partnership allows us to take what we’ve built and expand our global footprint by finding and working with talented filmmakers, developing content across all genres and at all budget levels, and providing funding to make their vision a reality that can be shared with the international audience. Mondevo’s network and infrastructure give us the reach to support the auteurs and storytellers across the regions that are producing some of the best new content. I’m looking forward to providing our expertise on a global scale.”
