New Distribution Venture Targets Asia-Pac Territories

SYDNEY/MANILA: Philippines-based producer Top Draw Animation is teaming with Australian producer Sticky Pictures for a new kids’ and family distribution venture focused on Asia, Australia and New Zealand that will launch at MIP Junior.

Mango Distribution will operate out of offices in Manila, Sydney and New York. Leading the venture are Wayne Dearing (from Top Draw) and Donna Andrews (from Sticky Pictures). Kerry Novick, meanwhile, will serve as sales manager for Asia. It heads to MIPCOM with its own co-productions, such as Pearlie, as well as a range of shows that it represents in the Asia Pacific.

“Mango Distribution is looking for the right properties and partners to expand our library," said Andrews. "We look forward to discussing new and exciting projects with the production community at MIPCOM."
