The French TV content distributor Ampersand Fiction, a division of Paris-based sales company Ampersand, has picked up the rights for three series produced by NTV for Europe, Asia, North America and Africa.<\/p>\n
The deal includes Murderous Fervor,<\/em> an \u201980s crime thriller based on the “Vitebsk Strangler” serial killer investigation; Casting Lady Justice<\/em>, a light crime series following a talented female police officer who dreams of cutting ties with the force to become an actress; and the drama The Missing<\/em>, which explores a conflicted relationship between a father and son who are involved in missing person cases.<\/p>\n Timur Weinstein, NTV\u2019s general producer, said: \u201cAmpersand Fiction has years of experience in distributing scripted content. To get a show featured in Ampersand\u2019s catalog means that we produce TV shows with potential for wide international appeal. Ampersand Fiction has handpicked three shows, all one-of-a-kind, all in different genres. But if you put them together, they successfully represent NTV’s vast library\u2019s versatility. I would like to point out that, along with the ready-made series, the distributors were drawn to their formats. It gives us hope to see our projects remade abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n Mathurin Beauvert, Ampersand Fiction\u2019s head of sales, said: \u201cWe are really glad to team up with NTV, starting with this first selection of three series very well suited for the international market, either as readymade or as a format. Ampersand Fiction has been engaged in the distribution of Russian productions for about three years now and the partnership with NTV is a major step forward for us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The French TV content distributor Ampersand Fiction, a division of Paris-based sales company Ampersand, has picked up the rights for three series produced by NTV for Europe, Asia, North America and Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":14772,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4421,4422,2651],"class_list":["post-14771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-ampersand","tag-ampersand-fiction","tag-ntv","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
