Escapade Media Unveils MIPCOM Highlights

Escapade Media “is bringing a huge new slate of programs across scripted and unscripted the market,” says Natalie Lawley, managing director.

Among its top highlights is A Season with Isabella Rossellini, which provides a portrait of the Oscar-nominated icon, reflecting on her life as the daughter of famous filmmaking parents Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini.

The documentary “unveils the unique charm and playfulness of Isabella and follows her diverse pursuits,” Lawley says. Marian Lacombe directs the one-hour film.

Wedding Dancers follows couples across the U.K. in the six months leading up to their big day. “It is the ultimate feel-good series where we learn as much about ourselves as we do about the couples,” Lawley says.

The Colin Fassnidge-led travelogue Food Diary “is a visceral journey through countries that rarely top tourist lists, where food, politics, history and humanity collide In ways that feel both jarringly foreign and deeply familiar,” she explains.

“A number of our completed titles have been fully funded privately so we can offer the rare opportunity of worldwide rights for the right client,” Lawley notes.
