deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Shark Tank EP Phil Gurin’s The Gurin Company has struck an international partnership with Ukrainian indie FILM.UA Group and set the first project, a home makeover series titled Rebuilding Ukraine Together.

The pair will also work together on formats for the U.S., Ukrainian and international markets. Rebuilding Ukraine Together will be shopped at next week’s Mipcom Cannes and is inspired by a FILM.UA pilot that was filmed prior to the war with Russia.
