MIPCOM Spotlight: TM International

CANNES: The feature film The von Trapp Family: A Life of Music, part of the TM International catalogue, has been presold to Lionsgate for the U.S., Canada and the U.K., and is based on the autobiography of Agathe von Trapp.

With the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro next year, TM International believes interest will be high for the lifestyle doc series Posto Code, another MIPCOM highlight. “Posto Code is a very cool lifestyle documentary that proves to be ideal programming around the Olympic Games,” says Carlos Hertel, the company’s head of international sales. The program shines a light on Rio and “captures the unique atmosphere of the Brazilian beaches, which are punctuated by a series of lifeguard towers, the postos—a sensuous portrait of a marvelous city,” he adds.

TM International also has a new TV movie in Among Wolves. “It is a universal and suspenseful crime story about two cops in a sea of murder, drugs, extortion, blackmail, corruption and sabotage,” says Hertel.
