CANNES: Eccho Rights specializes in representing top producers from around the world, and its format highlights for MIPTV hail from a diverse range of territories.<\/p>\n
For example, Queue Up<\/em> is a new family game show that recently launched on TRT in Turkey and is produced by Sera Film. \u201cThe format is a great mix of intelligence, knowledge and family bonds,\u201d says Fredrik af Malmborg, the managing director at Eccho Rights. \u201cThe ratings are very good in Turkey and the format has just been commissioned for a second season.\u201d<\/p>\n The eSports-based u:Supporters<\/em> format is from Uncle Ned for TV4 in Sweden. Af Malmborg says the format has a \u201cvery clever link between the growing field of computer games and real-life sports and television.\u201d Entrepreneurs<\/em> is a project from Saga Film in Iceland.<\/p>\n \u201cEccho Rights has extensive experience in launching formats worldwide. Our roots are very much producer-based and we see a returning demand for strong entertainment formats and also scripted formats,\u201d af Malmborg says.<\/p>\n From Endemol Shine Turkey, Winter Sun<\/em> (Kis G\u00fcnesi<\/em>) is among the dramas that Eccho Rights is looking to license into new markets. \u201cIt is an amazing series about twins who grow up under very different circumstances, as their father was murdered by his business associates,\u201d explains af Malmborg. He calls the series a \u201ctrue drama about family bonds and, of course, impossible love.\u201d<\/p>\n Also a Turkish drama, Black Heart<\/em> comes from Aka Film. \u201cIt is based on a very strong script,\u201d af Malmborg says.<\/p>\n Another scripted highlight in the Eccho Rights catalogue is Servant of the People<\/em>, which is a Ukrainian show. \u201cWe are specialized in representing top producers in the worldwide management of drama and entertainment rights,\u201d adds af Malmborg.<\/p>\n \u201cEccho Rights is a leader in the worldwide distribution and development of Turkish drama, but we are also [growing] strongly in drama development in Western Europe, Latin America and Asia,\u201d says af Malmborg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CANNES: Eccho Rights specializes in representing top producers from around the world, and its format highlights for MIPTV hail from a diverse range of territories.<\/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":[373,374,375,376,377,378],"class_list":["post-6606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-black-heart","tag-eccho-rights","tag-queue-up","tag-servant-of-the-people","tag-usupporters","tag-winter-sun"],"yoast_head":"\n
