About Me
I am handling international sales and acquisitions at the new distribution company Folivari International launched early 2024. We focus on creator driven content, build a content transmedia strategy and make sure our programs reach their audience.
Our line up at Mip this year counts with the avaiable programs: Guitar & Drum (78x5'), Samuel (21x4'30), and the projects in late development: Nino Dino (78x7'), The Baker Street Four (12x26').
I also look for series and tv specials to acquire at any stage of production.
