Cynopsis:
International 02/11/08 Good morning. It's Monday, February 11, 2008, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: A Company Consulting & Licensing from Germany and Hungary's indie distributor Budapest Film inked a letter of intent to launch Filmklik Europe, a new pan-European, IPTV VOD platform. A Company will buy shares in Filmklik Hungary, a VOD service already running since mid-2007. This particular service will be expanded with the first drive in Central and Eastern Europe, including the Baltics, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Romania, and Slovakia. The CIS rollout will follow over the next 2 years. As part of the deal, Filmklik Europe will have available films bought by A Company's Eastern European Acquisition Pool unit, and content from other sources. Portfolio Entertainment's completed series renewals in Belgium and Israel for its series Carl Squared. VRT (Belgium) has picked up seasons three and four (26x30) for the animated tween-targeted series for broadcast in Dutch-speaking Belgium, while Noga (Israel) takes season (13x30) of the series. Endeavor picked up some new business from Russia's indie distributor/production house, Central Partnership, to become its new sales agent in North America, rep Central Partnership's Russian directors, and coordinate U.S. co-productions. As part of the deal, Central will have first refusal rights for both productions and distribution. National Geographic Television International has signed with Elastic Rights to rep its TV, home video, merchandising, and licensing for Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies in Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. The preschool series is a National Geographic Kids Entertainment, BBC/CBeebies and King Rollo Films co-production. French TV producer Thierry Rivard, formerly MD of Kayenta Production, has launched a new French production house, Vision Quest Media (VQM). Focusing mainly on kids and family entertainment, it will produce content for Internet, TV, and the big screen, including shorts series Mr Zombie. VQM has also signed a deal with French publisher Casterman to bring back to TV the preschool character Emilie, and a development deal with Irish prodco Kavaleer on an action/adventure property. (Kayenta is a shareholder in the new company.) Chef Jamie Oliver and his production company, Fresh One Productions, will produce a food/cookery centric, preschool-targeted series titled Made with Magic to be broadcast on the Nick Jr. digital channel in the U.K. Designed to get kids interested in where food comes from, the mixed live-action and CGI-animated series will not star Oliver although he will serve as exec producer. EXECUTIVE MOVES: Canada's Entertainment One brought in Rainer Grupe to serve as its VP/Filmed Entertainment, effective immediately. He will be in charge of international production and acquisition growth, reporting to Patrice Theroux, President/Filmed Entertainment. Before his new position, Rainer was Polygram Film Intl.'s VP/International Sales. Suzanne Laverdiere is moving from Paris and her position as TV5 Monde's GM/Programs to begin a new position in Canada's CBC as Director of CBC/Radio Canada's cross-cultural fund. She will manage the new French/English and multicultural program productions through a fund valued at $9.9 million, while reporting to Yvan Asselin, CBC's GM/Integration. This is not the first time Suzanne serves at CBC. In the past, she was the GM/Corporate Affairs and Strategic Planning of its French-language services. A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM CABLEU
