Eccho Rights to Rep Pair of Mountain Dog Dramas

LONDON: Eccho Rights has added to its catalog Honor and Brink, two upcoming drama series from Swedish production company Mountain Dog.

Honor is a Swedish crime show starring Sofia Helin (Bron) and Alexandra Rapaport (Gåsmamman) about a humanitarian law firm run by four female lawyers working on a controversial case. Brink, a thriller led by Rakel Wärmländer and Rapaport, follows an army lieutenant on leave as she battles against big-game poachers and the international crime syndicate behind them.

Both projects have been snapped up by broadcasters in Sweden. The international rights are on offer for presales and co-production at MIPCOM.

“The Eccho Rights team has a unique expertise in the global market and can take Nordic drama to the next level,” remarked Birgitta Wännström, the CEO of Mountain Dog. “Following the success of Gåsmamman, Brink and Honor are two really strong projects for Scandinavia and the world.”

Caroline Palmstierna, the director of business development at Eccho Rights, said: “We are so excited to work with Mountain Dog and Birgitta’s team. At Eccho Rights, we believe producers deserve better representation for their projects in the international marketplace, and these new titles will be ideal for broadcasters around the world.”
