NATPE Spotlight: Calinos Entertainment

Female-led programs such as Woman are a pillar of Calinos Entertainment’s offering.

The drama tells the story of Bahar, a young widow left to care for her two children. “Woman has a truly engaging and empowering lead character that would certainly appeal to audiences in LatAm, especially female viewers,” says Anghelo Taylor, the company’s international sales manager for Latin America and the Caribbean. Our Story, meanwhile, follows a young woman named Filiz who takes care of her five siblings and their alcoholic father. “Our Story has something extra,” says Taylor. The series “will take people on a rollercoaster of adventures and a sweet love story,” he adds. The company is also presenting A Love Story, exploring themes of romance, hope, anger and betrayal.

“Well-known casts, great love stories, strong drama and ‘love brand’ characters are the main reasons we are certain these programs will appeal to buyers at NATPE,” Taylor notes.
