MIPTV Spotlight: Motion Picture Corporation of America

CANNES: The series The Saint follows the exploits of the international thief Simon Templar and his colleague Patricia Holm, as they steal from rich criminals and return the spoils to their victims.

Motion Picture Corporation of America (MPCA) is selling the title, which is “international by nature,” says Brady Krevoy, the company’s president. “It features a British protagonist having adventures in diverse locations across the globe, from the banks of the River Thames to Gstaad in Switzerland to the warm climates of San Diego.” MPCA is also selling the TV-movie series When Calls the Heart. Krevoy says that the family-targeted romance story “is part of a genre with a longstanding track record, appealing to wide audiences in territories throughout the world, with solid sales numbers to back it up.”
