GoQuest Media Picks Up Lithuanian Drama Troll Farm

GoQuest Media has inked a deal with the Lithuanian production company Dansu Films for the worldwide distribution rights, excluding Lithuania and Estonia, for the comedy drama Troll Farm.

The five-part series follows corporate diva Ana, who is wrongly fired from a cosmetics company and has her reputation destroyed. Armed with Agriculture for Dummies and extensive corporate experience, she ends up running two farms to cover her underground business, Troll Farm, designed to destroy shady corporations.

Blinded by her desire for revenge, however, Ana begins slowly turning into the same manipulative person she was determined to fight.

The series originally debuted earlier this year on LRT, Lithuania’s national broadcaster, and on the local streaming platform Telia Play, marking the first time a local show was streamed and broadcast simultaneously on television.

Troll Farm is directed by Ernestas Jankauskas and stars Gabija Siurbyte, who is also the co-creator and producer of the series.

Rakesh Vasani, who works in the global content acquisition department at GoQuest Media, said, “Troll Farm‘s unique story stood out to us from the start. This omnipresent phenomenon of troll farms is a deadly tool that, while invisible, has the power to dictate our thought process and consequently our decisions. In a story told through actors that look real and could belong in our lives, attracted us to the series. It is also a highly formattable series with its universal concept that visibly exists in today’s world. We’re really excited to work with Gabija and Dansu to bring Troll Farm to a global audience.”

“We are very excited to work with Rakesh and his team,” added Siurbyte, head of Dansu Films. “Troll Farm is our first TV series, and we have put love and hard work into each shot. We believe that the series can travel well as it tells a universal story.”
