MIPCOM Spotlight: Hat Trick International

Brooklyn-based lawyer Howard Greenberg, who works 24/7, 365 days a year and is known for his outrageous courtroom style, is the focus of Howard vs The People (working title), on offer from Hat Trick International.

The documentary series is “like no other,” says Sarah Tong, the company’s director of sales. It goes “inside the world of a one-of-a-kind criminal defense lawyer and the people who come through his door facing everything from car crime to murder charges.”

Another highlight is the prime-time quiz format The Time It Takes, which Tong calls “a vibrant, exciting and fun format for the whole family.”

There is also Flack, starring Academy Award winner Anna Paquin as a London-based PR agent who is tasked with fixing other people’s lives, despite the fact that she isn’t capable of fixing her own.

“Set in the world of public relations, Flack is an exciting new series that presents varied and vibrant characters embroiled in a constant onslaught of murky dilemmas,” adds Tong.
