Pre-MIPCOM Spotlight: Beyond Distribution

CANNES: From CMJ Productions II, A Stranger in My Home tells the tales of crimes committed by individuals who were invited into their victims’ houses.

“The stories are quite chilling and told in CMJ’s signature style, which includes interviews with those who were involved at the time,” says Yvonne Body, Beyond Distribution’s head of acquisitions. Beyond is also presenting Addicted to the Life, a Story House Productions collaboration that details how greed can lead to crime. “The show is very stylized, reflecting the glamorous lifestyles that seduced the perpetrators,” says Body. Beyond will also be offering Pipsqueaks, a preschool series from Beyond Screen Production that has already been renewed by Australia’s Seven Network. Body notes that the company’s preschool programming tends to perform especially well in Asia.
