The team at GoQuest Media has developed expertise in introducing international dramas, hailing from all corners of the world, to global audiences. Two of its latest, Erinyes<\/em> and Crusade<\/em>, are crime dramas from Poland\u2019s TVP.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were introduced to the titles in the early summer of last year, and both dramas had us divided in terms of which one we liked the best,\u201d says Ofelya Tovmasyan, who heads up sales for CEE, CIS and Western Europe at GoQuest Media. \u201cWe discovered and recognized that Erinyes<\/em>, as a period crime drama starring the formidable Marcin Doroci\u0144ski (we had just watched The Queen\u2019s Gambit<\/em>, in which he plays Vasily Borgov, aka \u2018The Russian\u2019) and with its unconventional narrative and setting, would cause quite a stir internationally. Crusade<\/em>, on the other hand, was a thrilling, keeps-you-on-the-edge, unputdownable experience that we just knew would be a big hit with audiences that love pacy, action-packed crime dramas. Both titles have it in them to make it big internationally, and we\u2019re so privileged to have the opportunity to present them to platforms worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"***Image***\"Erinyes <\/em>is based on short stories by Marek Krajewski, the setting of which are pre- and postwar Lviv and Wroc\u0142aw. The main character is Edward Popielski, a detective inspector of great intellect and physical strength who is tormented by visions caused by epilepsy, which he uses to his advantage in investigations. He works as an officer of the law but operates outside of it.<\/p>\n

Crusade <\/em>focuses on the investigations conducted by Detective Jan \u201cManjaro\u201d G\u00f3ra and his colleagues from the crime and criminal terror division of the Warsaw Metropolitan Police. The victims include celebrities and powerful people. At first glance, the cases are not linked. However, it soon becomes clear that the kidnappings and murders are connected. The detectives eventually discover that behind these crimes stands an anti-system terrorist organization operating in Warsaw.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever we add titles to our catalog, the intent is always to ensure that the content is not only rooted locally but also speaks the language that audiences can understand wherever they are in the world,\u201d says Tovmasyan. \u201cErinyes<\/em> may be set in pre- and postwar Poland and paint a vivid picture of the borderlands in those times, but the context of one man\u2019s mission to rid the world of evil remains universal. Edward Popielski (Doroci\u0144ski) is very much an avenger of modern times; he bends the rules, follows the unconventional path and is a deeply troubled man. Still, his unflinching faith in the evolution of humankind toward good is inspiring. A similar conflict sets the base for Crusade<\/em>, in which a group of underprivileged, indoctrinated, quasi-Mansonesque youngsters undertake to uproot the corrupt elite of society while keeping the police force and one particular investigator, Commissioner Jan G\u00f3ra (Julian Swiezewski), on their toes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tovmasyan adds that these are \u201cexciting stories shot and acted beautifully and relate well to all cultures and people. They are binge-worthy, premium productions catering to audience demands on both TV and OTT. They fit right into the programming strategy of platforms that want to bring their audiences the best of international content.\u201d<\/p>\n

These two TVP dramas add even more diversity to the GoQuest Media slate and \u201calign with our strategy of finding hidden gems from countries traditional distributors don\u2019t go looking in,\u201d Tovmasyan says. The company\u2019s catalog features content from Ukraine, Estonia, Serbia, the Czech Republic and Poland. Titles have gone on to be placed in platforms around the world such as Disney+ Hotstar, Globoplay, VOYO, SBS, Telemundo, WOWOW and others.<\/p>\n

This all reinforces GoQuest Media\u2019s belief that \u201cgreat stories will, simply put, travel well,\u201d Tovmasyan adds. \u201cThat\u2019s all that audiences ask for, and we\u2019re here to partner with platforms to bring it to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the breadth of platform partners bringing programming to viewers has been increasing, notably through AVOD services. \u201cThe AVOD business is developing rapidly in Europe, and in a couple of years, it might even dominate the OTT market,\u201d Tovmasyan says. \u201cThe reach of content will immensely increase and find resonance with a broader audience. I believe this and FAST channels will open new business opportunities and new windows for content to travel further.\u201d<\/p>\n

The overall aim for GoQuest Media, according to Tovmasyan, is to continue adding \u201ccompelling, unique and premium titles from around the world to our growing portfolio. Speaking regularly to our clients enables us to get a feel of what kind of programming will appeal to international viewers, which in turn helps us in our strategy. GoQuest\u2019s approach is to make sure that we have a carefully curated catalog, thus ensuring that clients have content that fits their programming needs, leading to entertaining and retaining viewer loyalty.\u201d<\/p>\n
