MIPCOM Spotlight: Sullivan Entertainment

CANNES: Sullivan Entertainment’s Emmy Award-winning movie Anne of Green Gables, one of its MIPCOM highlights, turns 30 this year.

“Tony Award winner Colleen Dewhurst and Academy Award nominee Richard Farnsworth give unparalleled performances in the critically acclaimed production, filmed among the spectacular scenery of Prince Edward Island,” says Athena Malamas, Sullivan’s manager of sales, acquisitions and marketing. “We are also featuring our classic series Road to Avonlea. Based on the popular novels of Lucy Maud Montgomery, the beautifully shot series revolves around the adventures of Sara Stanley, a young girl who is uprooted from her life in the big city and sent to the remote farming community of Avonlea.”

The family drama Wind at My Back, meanwhile, features the struggles of the Bailey family in the 1930s. “Sumptuous production values and satisfying story lines are the hallmarks of Sullivan’s films and series, which continue to captivate new viewers all over the world,” adds Malamas.
