Alex Berger, Producer of Legendary French Series ‘The Bureau,’ on Putting His Money Where His Mouth Was on the Ivory Coast Shoot of Arte’s Ambitious Arte Series ‘Eldorado’
Produced by Arte and Berger’s TOP, ‘Eldorado’ is homed by ‘Culte’ director Louis Farge
Berger said the six-episode series owed its Ivory Coast backdrop to relationships built during his first trip to Africa at last year’s November edition of SICA. Written by up-and-coming talent Tarek Haoudy, “Eldorado” took three years to develop under the guidance of Berger’s Paris-based production outfit, TOP, and director Louis Farge, who helmed Prime Video series “Culte.” Though tight-lipped about future projects, he hinted at possible collaborations with Ivorian director-producer Alex Ogou (“Invisibles” on Canal+), Ivory Coast-based Nigerien producer Mamane (“Bienvenue au Gondwana”), and Abidjan-based Kimberly Azria (“Legends”).
