Studio100 Teams with Turkish Broadcaster on Puppet Series

CANNES, April 9: Studio100
Media is partnering with Turkish Radio Television Corporation (TRT) on Big
and Small, a new puppetry series.

The 52×11-minute series is
being produced by Kindle Entertainment for the BBC, in association with 3J’s
Entertainment, Studio100, YTV and now TRT. Delivery is slated for this fall,
with Studio100 Media to handle the worldwide distribution of the series, except
for the U.K. and Canada.

Aimed at 3- to
6-year-olds, Big and Small was
created by Steven Andrew and Josh Selig, designed by Paul Andrecjo, written by
Kathy Waugh and executive produced by Anne Brogan.

“Children’s programming is
important for our profile of the modern TRT,” said İbrahim Şahin,
TRT’s director general. “We believe that this co-production will help us to
strengthen our portfolio, broaden our efforts and maintain our position as the
first and only public TV broadcaster of Turkey.”

Patrick Elmendorff, the
general manager of Studio100 Media, added, “We are delighted that a major
Turkish public broadcaster such as TRT has joined forces with Studio100 and its
prestigious co-production partners the BBC, YTV and 3J’s Productions.”
