A surgeon begins to climb the ranks in Bulgaria’s most prestigious hospital in the drama series Stolen Life, which New Films International is promoting at MIPTV.

The surgeon has no idea that his biological father is the general manager of the hospital. The company is also showcasing the action-drama series New York. “For the last couple of years, feature movies have been replaced with TV series, and we are focusing on including new and genre-oriented TV series in our slate in order to accommodate the market’s needs,” says Nesim Hason, the company’s founder and CEO. Hason believes the series will pique buyers’ interest “with their strong stories and emotional approach.” There is also the romantic film A Lesson of Love, about a widowed teacher who is recruited to an Appalachian college and falls in love with a religious local.

Hason adds, “We are planning to be one of the biggest independent film companies that provides a wide range of content directly to major digital platforms.”
