MIPCOM Spotlight: Band Contents Distribution

CANNES: Not only is Band Contents Distribution looking to build its business with traditional linear platforms like free TV and cable, but VOD, mobile and the Internet are also a priority for MIPCOM sales.

The company is striving to generate additional business opportunities and establish strong relationships with new companies, according to Elisa Ayub, Band’s director of international content.

One of the shows Band is offering up at MIPCOM is Panic, a comedy with sarcastic humor geared toward young teenagers. The series is based on a radio program from the 1990s. Another title on the slate is Little Grown-ups Talk, a family-friendly series hosted by Marcelo Tas and presented through the point of view of children. “Little Grown-ups Talk is a show that leaves guest stars with their hair raised [after] unexpected and truly frank questions from the little ones,” says Ayub. The company is also showcasing The Amazing Professor Ambrosius’ Mansion, a kids’ educational comedy about a professor and his two assistants.
