Cisneros Media Distribution Secures Teen Series Candela

MIAMI: Cisneros Media Distribution (CMD) has picked up the worldwide rights for the teen series Candela, from Ony Productions.

The 80×60-minute series, from screenwriter Patricia Maldonado (Chiquititas, Rebelde Way), follows the life of Candela, a teenager raised with complete freedom who is forced one day to live with her biological father, whom she presumed dead. She then moves to an affluent neighborhood where appearances are more important than the truth and material possessions are worth more than people.

“We believe this teen series has great potential since its story is completely universal, suitable for any market, while targeting a young demographic,” said Marcello Coltro, the executive VP of content distribution for Cisneros Media. “Candela is ideal for the U.S. Hispanic market, and we are sure it will be widely successful throughout Latin America.”

Othniuska Cedeño, the CEO of Ony Productions, noted: “This agreement is of great importance for Ony Productions since it will enable Candela to reach more than 100 countries in more than 20 languages thanks to Cisneros Media Distribution’s global reach. I hope that this is only the beginning of a long and successful relationship between our two companies.”
