MIPTV Spotlight: MarVista Entertainment

Among the new movies that MarVista Entertainment will be debuting at MIPTV this year is Bottled with Love, a romance with a “message in a bottle” theme starring One Tree Hill alum Joy Lenz.

Thriller Accusations and Lies—with AnnaLynne McCord (90210), Kate Vernon (Battlestar Galactica, The 100) and Jennifer Freeman (My Wife and Kids)—follows a woman searching for answers to her husband’s disappearance when she becomes the authorities’ prime suspect. Another thriller in MarVista’s catalog is The Narcissist, which centers on a woman who unwittingly falls for a charming man with a dark side and deadly secrets.

“We listen to our partners and bring them on board early on in the development process to ensure that our content meets their needs,” says Jody Cipriano, MarVista Entertainment’s head of distribution and acquisitions, who adds, “The genres of romance and thrillers have consistently performed particularly well for us with international buyers and audiences.”
