MIPCOM Spotlight: LGI Media

NASA chief engineer and futurist Jon Cowart takes viewers into the future in Cosmic Futurist from the catalog of LGI Media, which has rebranded from Looking Glass International.

The company is also highlighting Irish Gangsters, a one-hour doc led by true-crime author and former Essex gang member Bernard O’Mahoney that focuses on Ireland’s toughest criminals. The two-parter Eye in the Sky glides over Australia’s diverse landscapes—from the coasts to the outback to the cities and beyond.

“Each of the three programs mentioned reflects the continuing demand internationally for the core genres of science, natural history and true crime,” says Nha-Uyen Chau, founder and CEO of LGI Media. “They all carry high production values with great storytelling.”

Chau adds, “We’re moving into content creation and looking to partner with producers to develop and finance projects that LGI Media will take to the international market.”
