kelencontent Lands U.S., European Sales

BANFF: The Canadian distributor kelencontent has closed three deals for factual entertainment series from its catalogue, with sales to ION Life in the U.S., Denmark’s DRTV and Sweden’s TV4. 

ION Life went for the tech-savvy series Gadget Girlz, which features women leaders in the field of technology, as well as the lifestyle/fitness and healthy-cooking series Body Fuel. Gadget Girlz has a cast of all female hosts, who have combined beauty and brains with backgrounds in engineering and technology. Body Fuel reveals how food and supplements maximize our ability to create a sculpted body.

Denmark’s DRTV went for Courage in Red, a crime investigation series that has exclusive access to the Royal Canadian Mountain Police, who candidly reveal true stories of life on the force. DRTV also picked up season three of the travel/adventure series Departures, hosted by best friends Scott Wilson and Justin Lukach. Sweden’s TV4 took Courage in the Red for all other Scandinavia territories.

“Forging into the U.S. market is key to expanding our distribution and production operations,” said Tanya Kelen, the president and executive producer at kelencontent. “And securing foreign broadcasters for our high impact series is vital to our continued growth.”
