ATF Spotlight: GMA Worldwide

SINGAPORE: There are several factors that draw regular buyers toward GMA’s titles, according to Roxanne Barcelona, the VP of GMA Worldwide, the distribution arm of the Filipino broadcaster.

She points to the “compelling story lines, powerful acting, wonderful cinematography featuring a picturesque tropical countryside and the cultural parallels with our Asian neighbors. Because of these, audiences are able to enjoy and identify with our programs.” For this market, GMA Worldwide is highlighting Genesis, about a mission to save Earth from an impending apocalypse; Wealth & Passion, the story of a farm girl working hard to provide for her family; and Perfect Vengeance, a contemporary drama about a woman who turns vengeful against the people who wronged her.
