The global market and demand for family films have increased in recent years and there are some great opportunities. The movies are high-quality dramas set in exotic locations with engaging storylines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perplexia Pictures founders Angus Fletcher and Ronald Henry added: \u201cWe are striving to build a creative business around a theater company model, comprised of producers, writers and directors united by skill, friendship and the desire to tell terrific stories on film for a family audience. As such, Dominic and his colleagues from Jetpack fit perfectly with this approach. After a lot of time, effort and love on our first slate of films, we are excited to see how the market responds and looking forward to making our next slate of four films later this year in Mauritius.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jetpack Distribution has acquired the international sales rights for four family films from Perplexia Pictures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":15683,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[958,4246],"class_list":["post-15681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-jetpack-distribution","tag-perplexia-pictures","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jetpack Picks Up Four Family Films for Distribution - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-picks-up-four-family-films-for-distribution\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jetpack Picks Up Four Family Films for Distribution - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Jetpack Distribution has acquired the international sales rights for four family films from Perplexia Pictures.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-picks-up-four-family-films-for-distribution\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-01-29T15:40:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-01-29T16:15:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/01\/camp-getaway-0119.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-picks-up-four-family-films-for-distribution\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-picks-up-four-family-films-for-distribution\/\",\"name\":\"Jetpack Picks Up Four Family Films for Distribution - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-01-29T15:40:19+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-01-29T16:15:47+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-picks-up-four-family-films-for-distribution\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-picks-up-four-family-films-for-distribution\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-picks-up-four-family-films-for-distribution\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Jetpack Picks Up Four Family Films for Distribution\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
