‘The Last Kingdom’s’ Dominic Barlow Teams With Writer-EP Brendan Foley on ‘The Angolan Clan’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Producer Dominic Barlow has joined forces with writer-executive producer Brendan Foley on ‘The Angolan Clan.’
“The story, in the vein of ‘Sexy Beast,’ ‘Blood Diamond’ or ‘Succession,’ is based on IP – a series of four bestsellers by author and former telecoms entrepreneur Christopher Lowery, published in English and Portuguese with a Spanish edition in the pipeline. “Our starting point sounds deceptively simple – to make compelling ‘high-end mainstream’ drama series that appeal internationally, at a very competitive price-point, with as few moving parts in the financing as possible,” said Barlow, who is based in Spain. “Conecta will be something of firing the starter’s pistol for us with ‘The Angolan Clan.’ Like many in the industry, we have been looking at new models for both drama content creation and funding that will work for this project as a test case and ideally for multiple series beyond,” said Foley.
