CANNES: The optimism is high at Cineflix Rights, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary.

 

“We have found the buying market to be very active across the second and third quarters of the year, so we anticipate a positive environment in Cannes,” says Chris Bonney, the CEO of rights at Cineflix Media. The company is looking to shore up sales on Claimed & Shamed, a fast-paced observational documentary series that follows a team of investigators hunting down insurance fraudsters. House Hazards takes a look at everyday household dangers, using state-of-the-art technology to explore the sometimes disastrous results of human error. Wives with Knives features the stories of women who have committed violent crimes against their husbands or lovers.
 
“These three titles take subjects like crime, relationships and real-life stories, which have already proven successful, and add new elements to create something different to what audiences will have seen before,” Bonney says. He adds that the company is eager to further relations with third-party producers in the scripted, unscripted and format genres.
