LA Screenings Independents Bounces Back
It’s set to be a banner year for the LA Screenings Independents this year, which has noted a 30% uptick in registered buyers and up to 60 exhibitors.
“Being at the LA Screenings with such a diversified slate reinforces our positioning to deliver stories that connect with audiences around the world,” says Pablo Ghiglione, Globo’s head of co-productions and international sales, of the Brazilian company’s diverse lineup led by a new season of high-octane series “Anti-Kidnapping Unit” from Globoplay Originals as well as telenovelas and adaptable formats for local productions. From “The Crown” producers, Left Bank Pictures, “The Lady” is a partly fictionalized account of Jane Andrews, the former royal dresser of Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, whose rise from humble beginnings ended when she was convicted of murder. “While content remains king, the TV landscape is becoming increasingly more complex: a surge in local productions, audience fragmentation, technological advancements, shift from the traditional pilot season to year-round development, global market dynamics, etc.,” he observes, adding: “That said, we prefer to view challenges as opportunities for innovation and growth.”
