Monte-Carlo Television Festival Chief Laurent Puons on Why the 64th Edition Stands Out
The 64th edition of the Monte-Carlo Television Festival opened Friday. Variety spoke to Laurent Puons, the festival’s general manager.
Among highlights of the Business Content program is a session with executive producer Rola Bauer in conversation with Wright talking about turning points in their careers, titled “Embracing Challenges: Journey Thru the Lens of Two Women.” Wright stars, directs and is an executive producer for the upcoming psychological thriller “The Girlfriend” for Prime Video, which Bauer had a major role in kick-starting when she was at Amazon MGM Studios. Another standout is a conversation between David W. Zucker, chief creative officer of Scott Free and executive producer of the crime drama “Dope Thief” for Apple, and “Alien: Earth” for FX, and Bauer. In the session, titled “Embracing Chaos: Journeys Thru the Television Multiverse,” they will discuss their partnership on pioneering international co-productions such as “The Pillars of the Earth” (Starz/Channel 4), “The Company” (TNT) and “Labyrinth” (Channel 4), on through their current collaboration with writer Michael Hirst (“Vikings”) for the Amazon MGM Studios limited series “Pompeii: A Day of Fire.”
