MIPCOM Spotlight: Escapade Media

SYDNEY: Escapade Media is heading to MIPCOM with a portfolio of drama series that includes The Art of Killing.

The in-development project centers on a retired cop who is searching for his son’s killer. “Writers Rob Cawley and Paul Duane give us a world set between Liverpool in the U.K. and the Gold Coast of Australia, both beautiful yet starkly contrasting in their aesthetic,” says Natalie Lawley, the company’s managing director. “These locations serve as a backdrop for a [show] filled with intrigue, mystery and a dark backstory that will thrill audiences around the world.”

Escapade is also showcasing Tomorrow When the War Began, a coming-of-age drama based on the novels penned by John Marsden, and When We Go to War, which spotlights the impact of war on a family and their friends. “When We Go to War executes beautifully the harshness of the effects of war on both those on the frontline and those left behind,” says Lawley.
