MIPCOM Spotlight: Multicom Entertainment Group

CANNES: Multicom Entertainment Group is bringing a handful of first-run properties to MIPCOM.

Among them, Lovemakers is a brand-new feature comedy, centered on a financially strapped dating agency in Budapest that is retained by a Russian “businessman.”

For the younger set is Mask Masters, aimed at kids 7 to 14. “Mask Masters is a fresh children’s program that takes advantage of the growing popularity of 3D,” says Irv Holender, the chairman of Multicom. The series features 26 24-minute episodes.

The company is also highlighting Finding Hope, about a teenaged runaway who escapes a polygamist cult and must readjust to life.

“Digital programming is of increasing importance internationally, as both current broadcasters and relatively new players like Hulu and Netflix rely on the Internet to deliver content,” says Holender. “We feel that there will continue to be new opportunities for VOD and streaming programming.”
