MIPTV Spotlight: AFL Productions

CANNES: There is a high repeatability factor with many of the programs on the AFL Productions slate, which is led by the flagship Naked & Funny.

This means that broadcasters can get maximum mileage out of a show, giving them more value from their initial investment, according to Yuri Volodarsky, the head of development and distribution at AFL Productions.

The company’s hallmark is comedic clip-based programs, including the new offerings Painfully Funny and Shelarious. However, there’s also a bit of action in the catalogue, in the form of Police Patrol. These shows are complemented by non-dialogue entertainment series such as 2Rude4UTube and hidden-camera shows like Crazy TV Pranks.

AFL also has a B2B portal, Russian Footage Archive, which will feature a new section of unique, bizarre and scenic clips for MIPTV.
