October 7, 2012 World Screen Top Stories

CANNES: MIPTV marked the first trip to Cannes for Mance Media, but this time around, at MIPCOM, the company will be showcasing an expanded slate.

 

Offerings include Cirque Berzerk, a two-hour circus special, featuring acrobatics, contortionists, burlesque dancers and fire-breathing clowns. Along with Cirque Berzerk, Mance Media is presenting Fit Nation, a series that examines several different approaches to working out. The show, with host Jonathan Legg, takes viewers around the world to provide a look at popular exercise trends. Bikini Destinations follows the international travels of swimsuit models. The series is filmed in HD, with 2D and 3D episodes available. “These shows appeal to broadcasters worldwide because they rely heavily on stunning visuals, are not heavy on dialogue and were acquired by Mance Media specifically with the international marketplace in mind,” says Matthew Mancinelli, the company’s CEO.
 
Mancinelli says that his key goals include “establishing a firm footprint alongside the top U.S.-based independent television distributors.”
