MIPCOM Spotlight: Escapade Media

In Escapade Media’s Steve Backshall & the Vertical Mile, the titular adventurer takes on the challenge of scaling the north face of the Eiger, which has been a lifelong goal of his.

Jessica Stonehouse, Escapade Media’s head of sales, partnerships and business development for the U.K. and U.S., describes the program as “a totally new way of doing adventure. In addition to the format, viewers have access to daily feeds and VR shorts, making them feel as if they’re on the climb with Steve from start to finish.”

Household Empires, meanwhile, “demonstrates a new way of crafting business—small home businesses going global,” Stonehouse says. Narrated by lawyer and prosecutor James Pacitti, Charged & Disbarred looks at real-life crimes committed by those trusted to uphold the law.

“MIPCOM is an important market to introduce new titles, share concepts for future projects and discuss developments in the industry,” says Stonehouse.
