MIPTV Spotlight: Terra Mater Factual Studios

CANNES: Viewers are immersed in some of the most unforgiving landscapes in South Dakota in Badlands: Hard Rock, Tough Lives, a highlight from Terra Mater Factual Studios.

“Here, bison, black-tailed prairie dogs and burrowing owls constantly fight for survival,” says Sabine Holzer, the head of TV at Terra Mater Factual Studios.

The Maasai are the focus of Tribe Versus Pride, which explores the deep connection between the Maasai culture and the well-being of Africa’s lions. The company is also presenting Lion Kingdom, showing viewers what life is like for three lion families that have made Ruaha National Park in Tanzania their home. “There’s an unbroken demand for high-quality content in the international market,” Holzer adds. “Making use of new technologies, working with unusual perspectives and finding new angles of storytelling, we’re providing cutting-edge docs for the market.”
