ISTANBUL: The fraught relationship between an aspiring screenwriter and a famous actor sets up the premise for Relationship Status: It’s Complicated, a series that Calinos Entertainment will be promoting at DISCOP Istanbul.

Another series highlight is Emergency Love, a story of romance set in a hospital. These titles both have a lighter, more optimistic tone than some of the other dramas in the marketplace, skewing more toward romantic comedy, “which is a new and popular trend in Turkey,” says Besir Tatli, the general manager of Calinos. “We think that this notion is a good alternative for modern TV viewers. Both [series] have received very high viewership locally since their inception.” Also a top priority for DISCOP Istanbul sales is the film Love, Just a Coincidence.

“We are in the process of establishing new strategies and partnerships, which we believe will open a universal window of activities for our company,” Tatli notes.
