Film career
Logical pictures Fiore co-founded Logical Pictures in 2016, with the company focusing on English-language genre films by emerging European directors. At that time, Fiore said the company planned to provide gap financing of around €500,000 to €1 million for third-party projects, while gradually developing and financing projects in-house.
In 2020, it was announced plans for Logical Pictures to launch a film and television investment fund, up to €100 million, with Fiore as the chairman. The fund would support development and production financing, including independent drama series and first features, as well as more prestigious projects with budgets of €12 million to €15 million.
In a 2022 interview with Cineuropa, speaking about private financing, Fiore said that freedom in terms of content was dependent on private financing, which could allow the company to support more atypical projects beyond broadcasters' target audiences.
In 2023, Logical Content Ventures, a fund launched by Logical Pictures Group and managed by Logical Pictures, received an equity investment of up to €25 million through the European Commission and European Investment Fund's MediaInvest programme. Fiore described LCV as "very flexible," stating that the fund invests against worldwide rights and recoups its investments through international minimum guarantees and P&A for a film's domestic-market release.
In January 2021, Fiore co-founded Loveboat, a creative production company based in Los Angeles and Paris, alongside Jeff Baron, Greg Panteix and Nicolas Winding Refn. The company produces projects across advertising, entertainment and fiction and is associated with Logical Pictures Group.
In January 2023, Logical Pictures, with Fiore as the president, entered into a three-year co-production and co-financing deal with Pathé. Through Logical Content Ventures, the partnership was intended to bring private investors into the financing of Pathé's theatrical films, with more than 20 films expected to benefit from Logical's financial input through 2025. In a 2024 interview with Deadline, Fiore said that the company was continuing its co-investment partnership with Pathé and was launching Logical African Stories, a fund intended to invest in films, television series and companies in Africa.
