Outright to Rep Mysterious Journeys

LONDON: Outright Distribution has signed a five-year deal with Authentic Entertainment for the distribution rights outside of the U.S. for Mysterious Journeys, originally produced for Travel Channel.

Each episode of Mysterious Journeys examines a different legend, investigating it both with hard sciences and old-fashioned exploration. Topics range from the Salem witch trials to UFO sightings to alien hot spots around the world.

Chris Bonney, the managing director of Outright Distribution, said of the deal: “We’re thrilled to be in business with a producer of Authentic’s stature; their reputation and genre skills fit perfectly with Outright’s market positioning. We firmly believe that Mysterious Journeys will do good business for us both in the international market and hope this will be the first of many collaborations with Authentic.”

Joe Cantwell, the managing director of Authentic Entertainment, commented: “As Mysterious Journeys is the first library program Authentic has chosen to distribute internationally, we looked for a company that could creatively and reliably maximize carriage of the series. Outright’s track record in factual entertainment and its global sales resources make it the ideal distribution partner.”
