Video Interview: SPT’s Kees Abrahams

NEW YORK: Kees Abrahams, the president of international production at Sony Pictures Television (SPT), talks about what the company is offering the market in terms of light entertainment, and gives an overview of SPT’s business in emerging format markets like Asia and Latin America.

The first Hollywood studio to embrace the model of producing content outside of the U.S., SPT has built up a broad network of wholly owned and joint-venture production partners across the globe. And it has been using those bases to generate new ideas as well as to produce versions of its deep library of formats, from comedy hits like Everybody Loves Raymond—recently sold into Israel and Poland—to new game shows such as Impossible?
