NEW YORK: Irv Holender, who relaunched Multicom Entertainment Group earlier this year, says he’s “expecting a robust market” at the Screenings in Los Angeles.

 

The distribution outfit was originally formed in 1995 and was relaunched at the start of this year. The company made its formal debut at this year’s NATPE, and is now headed to the L.A. Screenings with a raft of content to showcase.
 
The highlights include Finding Hope, in which a 16-year-old is abducted and married into the cruel household of a polygamist cult leader. She escapes and finds herself lost and alone, in search of a safe place and living life as a runaway. There are also a number of documentaries in the catalogue, including one-hour biographies such as Madonna: The Name of the Game and The Passions of Howard Hughes; music performances from legendary acts such as Johnny Cash and Sammy Davis Jr.; and docs spotlighting, among other topics, the disco era, science fiction and the Bible.
 
For the younger set, Multicom is offering Wobworld, a TV show complemented by a fully interactive website. Topics of science, health and life lessons are covered on both platforms.
