“CCI is one of the world’s best producers and we will honor the trust that they’ve placed in ole by contributing in kind.”

“We are delighted to be formalizing our relationship with ole,” said Arnie Zipursky, CEO of CCI Entertainment. “It is a testament to the success of the past four years and we look forward to a long and fruitful partnership.”
