MIPCOM Spotlight: Filmax International

CANNES: The success of The Red Band Society has helped Filmax International cement its place as “an important player in the TV-drama field,” according to Ivan Diaz, the head of the company’s international division.

“The show has been sold in many territories, and a big American adaptation, produced by Amblin Television and ABC Studios, premiered this fall on FOX in the U.S., which is a great achievement for a Spanish drama. In the following months, there’ll be more adaptations of the show to start airing in several territories, and this show has become a very strong property for us after just two seasons produced for the Catalan public network TV3.”

Filmax International is launching another new drama at MIPCOM, I Know Who You Are.
