MIPTV Spotlight: Tandem Communications

CANNES: Tandem Communications believes that its MIPTV highlights, among them Sex, Lies and Handwriting, transcend cultures and have a global reach.

Sex, Lies and Handwriting is a one-hour procedural drama co-produced with Lionsgate. “The series is not only procedural crime, but also has a lighter, wittier side,” says Rola Bauer, the company’s president and partner.

Also featured for MIPTV is the second season of Crossing Lines, which just finished shooting in the south of France. The company hopes Pirate’s Passage, an animated film written and produced by Donald Sutherland, will resonate with viewers of all ages. “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,” says Bauer.
