Brian Kavanaugh-Jones leaves Range to become partner and co-president at Oddfellows, Deadline reports

Brian Kavanaugh-Jones is stepping down from Range, where Deadline reports he had served as Partner and Co-President of Film and Production. Deadline said the move is part of a shift in the Los Angeles film producing scene, with Kavanaugh-Jones set to join Oddfellows, a Vancouver-based banner run with long-time collaborator Chris Ferguson.

Deadline’s report characterizes Kavanaugh-Jones’s exit from Range as a significant leadership change tied to the next phase of his producing career. It says he is ending his run at Range in order to take on a senior executive role at Oddfellows, with responsibilities that include a partner position and co-president title.

At Oddfellows, Deadline reported that Kavanaugh-Jones will join Ferguson, with the outlet describing the duo’s working relationship as longstanding. The report frames the partnership as a continuation of prior collaboration, with Ferguson and Kavanaugh-Jones having worked together on film projects previously.

Deadline also connects the transition to Kavanaugh-Jones’s experience in production and development. The outlet described the prior Range role as spanning both film production leadership and broader film-and-production oversight, setting up what Deadline said would be a larger executive function within Oddfellows following the departure.

Oddfellows is described by Deadline as a Vancouver-based outfit, and the report uses the names “Backrooms” and “Longlegs” in connection with the company’s producing brand or slate identity. Deadline did not provide additional operational details in the portion of the report summarized in the discovery packet, but it presented the leadership move as the next step in Oddfellows’ development and production footprint.

The change arrives as producers and studios continue to recalibrate creative and operational leadership across North American production ecosystems, with Vancouver and Los Angeles often linked through development and production financing arrangements. In that setting, Deadline’s report places Kavanaugh-Jones’s move as an organizational shakeup led from the executive side, rather than a project-by-project casting change.

No additional specifics were included in the discovery packet about which particular films are expected to anchor the new partnership at Oddfellows, or about whether Kavanaugh-Jones’s Range role is tied to a specific concluded slate. As reported, the next step is the formal joining of Oddfellows in a leadership capacity, with Ferguson and Kavanaugh-Jones positioned as co-executives for the company’s film and production work.
