NATPE Spotlight: Escapade Media

MIAMI: The three top programs that Escapade Media is highlighting at NATPE span a mix of genres.

The company is presenting the 4K natural-history series Rottnest & The Mystery Islands, as well as the docuseries JC Tha Barber, which centers on a celebrity barber whose clients come from the worlds of film, hip-hop and professional sports. Escapade is also looking to shore up deals on the two-parter Steve Backshall & The Vertical Mile, following Backshall and his climbing partner Leo Houlding in their quest to conquer the iconic North Face of the Eiger in Switzerland.

“Steve Backshall & The Vertical Mile will be one of the first factual series shot live with additional VR components available for broadcasters to purchase,” says Hamish Lewis, sales and acquisitions executive at Escapade. He adds that “Escapade’s focus at NATPE is to push those titles we feel have a place on Latin American networks.”
