Pre-MIPTV Spotlight: TANDEM Communications

CANNES: TANDEM Communciations is highlighting Sex, Lies and Handwriting (working title) in the run-up to MIPTV, along with the first two seasons of Crossing Lines, another crime show, and Pirate’s Passage, a book-based animated movie.

Co-produced by Lionsgate and TANDEM, Sex, Lies and Handwriting is about a quirky forensic handwriting expert. “The series is not only procedural crime, but also has a lighter, wittier side,” says Rola Bauer, the president of TANDEM.

“Pirate’s Passage is one of those unique family films that can easily appeal to broadcasters all around the world, not only because of its strong story with global attraction, but also because of Donald Sutherland’s complete involvement in the project, providing the central character’s voice as well as his star power across a broad demographic,” says Bauer.
