5 Star Film Company Ltd.
International Television Distribution & Broadcast Consultancy
Trading as: One World Television Programs.
Introduction
5 Star Film Company Ltd. is a UK-based enterprise with deep industry roots, created to support the international broadcasting market through sustainable content partnerships. Originally established to serve as a holding company for 14 mature, high-value business licensing models, the company has evolved into a opportun̈e platform for IP acquisition, content distribution, and broadcast development.
We operate as licensed distributors of low budget niche television series and films, strategically positioned to collaborate with global broadcasters and content aggregators seeking fresh, rarely seen programming. Through our affiliate syndicate, One World Programs, we facilitate comprehensive content licensing with legally authorised representation.
Strategic Media Alliances
We work closely with Musicalities Ltd., founded by one of the UK’s most experienced music executives — a former General Manager at Elton John's Rocket Records, and Managing Director of Paramount Pictures Music Publishing Division. Previously aligned with Motown (Tambla), he helped launch the careers of Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross & The Supremes, and the Jackson Five.
Now an acclaimed media deal maker, he has negotiated over 132 specialised contracts with key institutions such as the BBC and major Film Companies. Through this alliance, we can license music and audiovisual content worldwide.
Our Current Catalogue
We are now distribution-ready with a diverse, high-value portfolio that includes:
1,700+ Episodes of Indian TV dramas (Tamil, Kannada, Telugu), with a combined market value of over £230 million across one year's broadcasts. These programs have grossed $660 million since 2014, yet remain untapped in the Hindi-speaking market. We are preparing full Hindi-dubbed versions for international syndication.
67 Episodes of International Golf Championships (Men’s & Women’s Classes), filmed in the Caribbean and Florida.
A Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous-style offshore powerboat racing series featuring Sir Richard Branson and his Necker Island team.
British comedy series, feature films, documentaries, and music videos.
In addition, as members of RightsTrade, and the American Film market, we can offer clients access to over 11,000 Hollywood films through our exclusive account listings.

Our Philosophy
We are not a faceless corporation, but a mission-driven creative entity with a bold vision. With no external shareholders, we answer only to artistic integrity, strategic intelligence, and market opportunity.
Our initial channel, One World Television, was approved by OFCOM and received an account with BBC Worldwide in 2016. However, a shift in SKY’s policy requiring HD-only EPG channels significantly increased costs, leading us to pivot into international distribution and syndication.
Although our channel model won four awards over two years, traditional investors were hesitant. In response, we focused on building an international distribution syndicate to champion the best of British content — including underutilised gems from the BBC catalogues.
