Video Interview: Beyond’s Caitlin Meek-O’Connor

NEW YORK: Caitlin Meek-O’Connor, the head of acquisitions at Beyond Distribution, tells World Screen about the types of shows she’s looking to acquire for the factual and kids’ programming slates.

Earlier this year, Beyond Distribution brought in Meek-O’Connor, a former DRG exec, to serve as its new head of acquisitions. The first title that Meek-O’Connor brought to the catalogue was Hockey Wives: Married to the Game, produced by Bristow Global Media. The move proved a successful one, with a number of deals signed and a second season commissioned by W Network in Canada.

Meek-O’Connor tells us about what she's looking for in the marketplace, noting that she’s keen to ramp up acquisitions out of the U.K.
