MIPCOM Spotlight: Pure Flix/Quality Flix

CANNES: The Pure Flix movie Encounter has inspired a new 10×30-minute series of the same name.

“The mysterious tone, similar to The Twilight Zone, with an inspirational message will resonate around the world,” says Ron Gell, the VP of international sales and distribution at Pure Flix/Quality Flix.

In the 10×30-minute Hitting the Breaks, an ex-racecar driver moves his family from a big city to the remote Rocky Mountains when he inherits The Serenity Inn. Gell says that Hitting the Breaks is a “comedy series the whole family can enjoy.”

The company is also promoting the theatrical feature film I’m Not Ashamed, which tells the story of Rachel Joy Scott, who was the first student to die in the Columbine High School shootings of 1999. Another highlight is Do You Believe?, an ensemble drama feature.
