MIPCOM Spotlight: AFL Productions

CANNES: AFL Productions, which has long represented popular clip shows such as Naked & Funny and 2Rude4UTube, is making a move toward the miniseries market.

The company is presenting at MIPCOM Curse of the Diamonds, a historical title that weaves together a top-secret mining program, international espionage and an epic love triangle, as well as a scheme involving millions of dollars in missing gems. The production is especially timely due to the many World War II anniversaries that have been recently commemorated, says Yuri Volodarsky, AFL’s head of development and distribution. “Curse of the Diamonds is a dramatic new miniseries brimming with intrigue, action and mystery,” Volodarsky says.

The company will continue to showcase the blooper-reel shows it’s known for, introducing international buyers to Outrageous & Hilarious, which offers a collection of embarrassing moments caught on tape by real people.
