Beyond to Offer Hotchkiss Industries’ This vs. That

SYDNEY: This vs. That, produced by Hotchkiss Industries, is to be offered internationally by Beyond Distribution at MIPCOM.

The series will test scientific theories through experiments and demonstrations by experts to answer questions. Guest stars will include Marc DeCarlo (Taste of America, Studs), Chris Tallman (Reno 911, Chocolate News, The Sarah Silverman Show) and Brad Sherwood (Whose Line is it Anyway?, Drew Carey’s Improv-a-ganza).

Jon Hotchkiss, the CEO of Hotchkiss Industries, said: “This vs That is the television project I was destined to make. It is the elegant marriage of my two passions: unraveling life’s mysteries through science and dynamic story telling. The scientist in me wants to know which BBQ fuel is hotter, propane or natural gas? The entertainer in me figures it out by blowing up high-school cafeteria sized cans of beans. Beyond has a long history of success in delivering unique voices with original content to a global audience. And I am thrilled that they are tapping their vast network of relationships to maximize This vs That’s international exposure."

Fiona Crago, the general manager of Beyond Distribution, added, “We are delighted to be launching this fun and informative series. I can’t wait to find out the answers to some of these burning questions. Hotchkiss has a fantastic track record and This vs. That is a perfect fit for Beyond’s catalogue.”
