DISCOP West Asia Spotlight: Venevision International

ISTANBUL: Telenovelas are a major focus for Venevision International for DISCOP West Asia.

“In addition to being dependable, the telenovela is an affordable means of producing great results, particularly when compared to the ratio of prime-time programming and the high costs of local productions,” says Manuel Perez, the company’s VP and CFO. “We have established a longstanding reputation for offering telenovelas with an international appeal, incorporating captivating story lines that are universal, have excellent casts with outstanding international stars, great scenery and outstanding production elements.”

One of the telenovelas being presented by Venevision this year is Lucia’s Secrets, featuring Iran Castillo, Juan Pablo Raba, Lucia Reina and Miguel Gaitan. The action-packed series centers on the life of a woman who is suffering from amnesia. Starring Guy Ecker, Itahisa Machado and Lorena Rojas, Rosario tells the story of a law student who falls in love with her mother’s ex-fiancé. Then there is The Love Curse, which is about a family of women who are incapable of choosing the right men due to a century-old curse. Sabrina Seara, Eduardo Orozco and Ricardo Alamo lead the cast.
