SevenOne International to present its portfolio at the American Film Market, October 31 – November 7
Munich, October 24, 2007. Even before the two-parter premieres on November 26 and 27, SevenOne International has sold ProSieben’s adventure event “Treasure Island” to broadcasters in over 50 countries. The countries where the special event will be seen include Spain, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary, Turkey, Greece, Thailand, Taiwan and Japan.
Said Jens Richter, Managing Director of SevenOne International: “Event programs like ‘Treasure Island’ and ‘Comet Impact’ offer top-quality, international-caliber entertainment. Not only are they narrated in up-todate ways, but their production values are first-class. Which means we supply quality – and that pays. Many stations buy our productions even before they’ve been completed. That shows how much buyers trust us. In the case of major events, sales to 50 to 100 countries are no rarity.”
SevenOne International will be presenting its portfolio at the American Film Market in Los Angeles, October 31 – November 7 (Hotel Le Merigot, Suite 238).
