MIPTV Spotlight: STUDIOCANAL

From Borgen creator Adam Price comes Ride Upon the Storm, a pillar of STUDIOCANAL’s MIPTV slate.

The character-led story is produced by Camilla Hammerich (Borgen) and stars Lars Mikkelsen (House of Cards). Something’s Rockin’ is inspired by real events and tells the story of Radio Mercur, a pirate radio station founded by a small group of music-loving dreamers in the late ’50s. The four-part drama Trust Me, set in Edinburgh, centers on a nurse who loses her job by whistleblowing and is forced to take drastic measures to provide for her daughter and start a new life.

“With so many opportunities to view [programming] on multiple platforms, it’s even more important for distributors to deliver drama that can be established as a strong brand,” says Katrina Neylon, the executive VP of sales and marketing at STUDIOCANAL. “We deliver mainstream programming that has global appeal.”
