Whiteout, the first drama production in a series of screen adaptations of novels by Ken Follett.

Secret of the Whales, an eco-thriller that offers audiences of all ages an electrifying look at a timely environmental subject that affects us all.

South Africa: The land of Hope, a documentary that shows how South Africa—the host of the first Football World Cup on African soil—came to be the beacon of hope that it is today.

What are your goals and expectations for MIPTV?

 

After such a long and hard winter the main goal of our sales team is to experience the spring at the Cote d’Azur and to enjoy some sunshine…

Seriously, we’re here to meet our clients, existing partners as well as new ones. Serving and helping them do a successful job for their organization is what motivates all of us.
