When you layer that with an amazing cast and bring in powerhouses like Miriam Margolyes, you\u2019re bound for an adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Secrets at Red Rocks<\/em>, meanwhile, transplants the Celtic myth of the selkies to New Zealand, following a 12-year-old boy who travels to spend the summer with his father on the island nation. It addresses environmental issues, and, \u201cat the core of it, is about community and family and the sense of finding yourself,\u201d Wilson notes. \u201cThat\u2019s something that\u2019s going to resonate not just with kids. It\u2019s going to transcend age because there [are] so many themes within the story that parents and adults are going to be very entertained by.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The third new title from WildBrain, <em>Storybooth<\/em>, is a short-form series that had its start on YouTube and involves real kids calling in from all over the world and telling their stories\u2014from first kisses to self-esteem struggles. \u201cWhat initially grabbed all of us at WildBrain when we first saw the sizzle was just how authentic the stories were,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cThey\u2019re stories that transcend age, but they\u2019re also relatable no matter where you are.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Katie Wilson, VP of global sales and acquisitions for WildBrain, tells World Screen Newsflash about the company\u2019s MIPCOM slate, including the three brand-new shows Badjelly, Secrets at Red Rocks and Storybooth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28349,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[8648,5396,10028,10029,1156],"class_list":["post-28348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-badjelly","tag-katie-wilson","tag-secrets-at-red-rocks","tag-storybooth","tag-wildbrain","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
