The Stockholm-based distributor represents such titles as <em>Honour<\/em>, <em>Conspiracy of Silence<\/em> and <em>Invisible Heroes.<\/em> As well as handling development projects with local producers, Wid\u00e9n will also take charge of the company\u2019s sales efforts in the Scandinavian market, which have brought a raft of Turkish dramas to the Swedish public broadcaster SVT in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Wid\u00e9n comes from Film Capital Stockholm, at which, as head of production, she has worked on the development and financing of more than 50 film and television projects. Some of her recent co-producer credits include <em>Sthlm Rekviem<\/em> for C More, <em>Jordskott<\/em> for SVT and <em>Before We Die<\/em>, a co-production between SVT and ZDF.<\/p>\n<p>Nicola Soderlund, managing partner at Eccho Rights, said: &#8220;Lisa has the perfect background to take our work in the Scandinavian market to the next level. While we continue to look for new and developing markets to partner with worldwide, we believe that the quality and potential of series coming from producers in our home region has huge potential so we are looking to ramp up our efforts here, utilizing Lisa&#8217;s experience in production, development and sales.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wid\u00e9n added: \u201cI have been lucky enough to see local productions at close quarters during the past few years but what especially excites me about working with Eccho Rights is the company&#8217;s global vision, and the opportunity to expand our work not only with Scandinavian producers but also new territories worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eccho Rights has tapped Lisa Wid\u00e9n for the position of sales and acquisitions executive for the Scandinavian market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":9454,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[374,2075],"class_list":["post-9453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-eccho-rights","tag-lisa-widen"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
