ATF Spotlight: Calinos Entertainment

In Calinos Entertainment’s drama series Woman, the central character is a single mother trying to raise her two children alone—despite all of the hardships in her life, she never loses hope.

“There are single or widowed mothers all around the world who raise their children alone, and this is a great story that people from all parts of the world can relate to,” says Asli Serim Guliyev, the company’s international sales director.

Our Story follows a girl who has to raise her siblings after being abandoned by their mother while having to deal with an alcoholic father. It is adapted from the award-winning series Shameless. Meanwhile, Forbidden Fruit centers on two sisters who are very close but have different personalities and goals in life. The fast-paced series “keeps the audience on their toes throughout,” Guliyev says.

“In the last few years, Turkish producers have started adapting Korean and Japanese formats with strong dramatic themes,” adds Guliyev.
