CANNES: This year marks the 20th anniversary of GMA Worldwide, which is heading to MIPTV with the highlights Because of You, Wish I May and My Superstar.

Roxanne J. Barcelona, the company’s VP, believes that these titles will be appealing to potential buyers because their stories focus on romance, love for family, the courage to strive for the best in the pursuit of happiness, and justice. “These are universal themes that bring out the best in the human spirit,” she says.

GMA Worldwide is working to strengthen its partnerships with broadcasters in the Asia-Pacific region, in North and South America, and in Africa. “We are focused on entering into more deals in South America,” Barcelona says. “We continue to look for new markets for our dramas and drama formats, and we are optimistic that this year more deals will be forged with new clients.”
