NATPE Budapest Spotlight: Beyond Distribution

BUDAPEST: Beyond Distribution has already seen quite a bit of interest for the 6×30-minute series You Should Really See a Doctor from buyers in Central and Eastern Europe, according to Zoe Allen, the company’s regional sales executive.

“Factual programming, especially titles that focus on the medical profession or look at people’s wellbeing, seems to be in vogue at the moment,” she says. Beyond is also bringing to NATPE Budapest the kids’ series Quarx, which uses a mix of CGI and social media to explain science in a new way. “Children’s programming with an educational twist has been a great success for us, with previous titles in this genre selling well in CEE,” Allen says.

Another highlight is the male-skewed Mountain Rescue, which has six one-hour episodes. Allen adds: “CEE has always been a key territory for Beyond Distribution.”
