Dori Signs Champs 12 Deal

MIAMI: Dori Media Group has reached an agreement for the Spanish brand-management outfit Elastic Rights to handle the rights for the format and finished version of the Argentinean teen series Champs 12 in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece and Turkey.

The Dori Media Contenidos production presents the raw energy of soccer, woven with a romantic story line as well as music and dance. Liz Solari and Tomás star in the 120×1-hour series, written by Patricia Maldonado (Rebelde Way).

Ignacio Orive, the president of Elastic Rights, said, “We are very pleased to have obtained Champs 12 through Dori Media, and look forward to making this title a success within our territories. We had been looking for some time for a great teen title with all the necessary ingredients that make them successful, and within minutes from screening the trailer, the decision was made. Furthermore, the title provides us with a great cast and story.”

Jose Escalante, the president and general manager of Dori Media Distribution, commented, “The interest in this format has been high across Europe. We wish Elastic Rights great success with this title.”

Elastic Rights is currently in conversations to find strategic partners for the development of the brand across Southern Europe.
