The producer’s debut slate comprises Beginnings, a 30–45-minute episodic unscripted series; Trend Starters, a global challenge format in which young entrepreneurs compete in a battle of innovation and strategy; and Gray Skies, a short film about an eight-year-old Syrian refugee and a homeless U.S. veteran with PTSD that portrays the universal impact of trauma. “We offer distinctive content tailored for Western audiences, with the aim of engaging viewers in both North America and Southeast Asia,” said Bargate.
