ISTANBUL: The Georgian channel GDS is kick-starting its sales efforts and chose DISCOP Istanbul as the market to make its debut as a distributor.<\/p>\n
Its offerings include the post-apocalyptic drama Paradox<\/em> and the period piece Tiflis<\/em>. There\u2019s also The Lost Heroes<\/em>, set against the backdrop of WWII. \u201cWe are sure that they will be successful internationally, as the stories we tell are not local and the production values are very high,\u201d says Tamara Edgar, GDS\u2019s head of sales.<\/p>\n She adds, \u201cWe are also very interested in co-production possibilities and we think that Turkey, with its strong industry and it being a neighboring country, can be a good partner. Georgia now has a tax refund for foreign productions, and co-productions with GDS can prove to be highly cost-efficient while maintaining international quality.\u201d<\/p>\n Edgar adds, \u201cVery often people have presumptions about Georgian product and we are happy to prove that we can make series up to international standards.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ISTANBUL: The Georgian channel GDS is kick-starting its sales efforts and chose DISCOP Istanbul as the market to make its debut as a distributor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[237],"class_list":["post-6514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-gds"],"yoast_head":"\n
