MIPCOM Spotlight: BossaNova Media

The four-part docuseries Con Girl, which tells the story of con woman Samantha Azzopardi, leads BossaNova Media’s highlights.

“As crime audiences morph into more sophisticated areas and following the huge success of The Tinder Swindler and The Puppet Master, for example, it seems that con artists are the next big thing in the true-crime space,” says Holly Cowdery, head of sales. “Con Girl delivers something not only totally immersive but very relevant for the modern audience as we see her forge her way through over 20 identities and multiple continents, leaving a trail of destruction in her wake.”

Across six episodes, Mysteries of the Ancient Dead investigates the methods of preserving and honoring the dead in ancient civilizations.

A ten-parter, Engineering Repurposed showcases the innovation and construction behind impressive structures.

“BossaNova may be in its infancy, but we are already delivering a diverse slate where quality remains key,” Cowdery says.
