What are some of your top properties for MIPTV? 
Live From Earth; Vivi; Echo Planet; Atomic Betty; Miss BG

Why will these programs appeal to buyers?
The concepts are strong, well-thought out and we have researched the audience, their tastes, and both audience and broadcaster trends. We are constantly in touch with broadcasters to be current with what their needs are as well as what their audiences are watching. We have also assembled strong creative teams to drive our shows. For example, in Live From Earth, Robin Stein, who is the head writer on Hannah Montana will be story editing and Keith Samples , (having directed such hits as The O.C., Everwood, Felicity, and Dawson’s Creek) will be directing. Finally, our past history has demonstrated to our broadcasting partners that we deliver what we say we’re going to – and then some!

What are your goals and expectations for MIPTV?
We’re a new company made up of experienced individuals from across this industry who bring unique talents and fresh ideas. MIPTV 2010 is the second global market we’ll be attending and it is a major testing ground for the creative content we’ve been developing and hot-housing the last few months. We’re bringing new distribution properties to the market such as the kids’ adventure environmental science mash-up series, Echo Planet. We’re also excited to be bringing some recognizable titles like Atomic Betty and Miss BG. And we’ve been Vesuvios pizza deprived for six months! We can’t wait for MIPTV!
