ATF Spotlight: Escapade Media

SINGAPORE: Natalie Lawley, the managing director of Escapade Media, says that business has been going well since the company launched about a year ago, especially within the AsiaPac region.

 At ATF, the company is presenting the feature The Lovers, which is led by Hollywood star Josh Hartnett and Indian actress Bipasha Basu. “Action-adventure features remain in strong demand across Asia,” says Lawley. “The Hollywood/Bollywood star-studded cast will appeal to mass audiences across the region.”

Another top title is the animated series Artie!, aimed at kids 8 to 10 with a slight boy skew. There’s also the factual special The Ride East Coast, which “appeals to youth/family audiences and tackles the issue of mental health in a sensitive but powerful way,” Lawley says.
