Defiance Preps Slate for MIPCOM

NEW YORK, August 29: Defiance
will head to MIPCOM with a number of newly acquired programs, including Spin
360, an entertainment newsmagazine
series about what’s on the Internet.

Spin 360 caters to all media platforms and is available in
both long- and short-form formats. The series Eco Travel, which takes viewers on environmentally friendly
vacations around the world, is also part of Defiance’s slate.

Other programming includes
Reef Series, a three-part
documentary film featuring underwater cinematography and a portrayal of marine
life; The Underwater World, a
journey that goes to the world below the surface, which includes swimming with
barracudas; New Wonders of the World, a half-hour series that explains the history and inner workings of
some of the world’s greatest attractions; Arctic Troy, a documentary that highlights sea hunters in the
northeast of the Chukot peninsula; Weather Wars, which explores if weather could be harnessed and
used as a weapon; and Journey to the Great Beyond, which looks into the stories of people who
remember what happened after they clinically died.

Danny Wilk, the senior VP
of business development, said: “We are very excited to be designated as the
exclusive distributor of these quality series that represent a small sampling
of the high quality of content we will be brining to Cannes. Our full list of
MIPCOM featured titles will be released early next month, along with screening
episodes of the long-awaited third season of Amazing Adventures of a Nobody
Europe, which finished production
this summer.”
