MIPCOM Spotlight: Distribution360

Distribution360 has made the push into the formats market with two new series.

Race Against the Tide takes place on the shores of the Bay of Fundy, home to the highest tide in the world. Sand-sculpting teams must build an extraordinary sculpture before the clock runs out and the tide comes in.

Best in Miniature, meanwhile, sees artists compete to build their dream homes in miniature form. It utilizes the Probe lens for the room reveals, giving the same look and feel of a full-sized show.

“Both series have tightly structured, considered formats that are simple and easy to replicate…with localized tweaks,” says Diane Rankin, senior VP of rights and executive producer.

Distribution360 is also presenting The Parker Andersons/Amelia Parker, two interconnected sitcoms that follow a newly blended family.

“We have now really diversified into formats and have kick-started this area with two strong titles,” says Rankin.
