Passion Adds Figure 8 Film to Library

LONDON, August 27: Sally
Miles’ Passion Distribution and Figure 8 Productions have teamed up to launch
the film Two Sisters: One Heart at
MIPCOM, building on the companies’ existing relationship that includes the hit
TLC series Jon & Kate Plus 8.

Two Sisters: One Heart looks at the life of two babies, Emma and Taylor,
who were born as conjoined twins. The story explores the family and home life
of these special children. Figure 8 is also behind Jon & Kate Plus 8, now in its third season for TLC in the U.S.,
which Passion distributes.

Miles said: “Myself and
the sales team at Passion have worked with Bill Hayes and his company, Figure 8
Films, for several years now. I feel we share the same passion for
extraordinary people and the story telling Bill is so brilliant at. These
extraordinary lives make aspirational viewing for the audience as the
characters inspire through their achievements over adversity.”

Bill Hayes added: ”It is
important for our business to have a rapport with our international distributor
and to work together on opportunities, whether that be selling completed shows
or co-production. Our films have a huge international appeal. Extraordinary
people and their stories are relatable in any language. I know Passion
Distribution will maximize this for us.”
