Just ahead of MIPTV, Peace Point Entertainment Group announced the launch of its dedicated international distribution arm, Peace Point Rights. The Toronto-based outfit, which has been around for more than a decade, has a back-catalogue of more than 400 hours of content to offer to the global market through its new division.
Factual and lifestyle series lead off the initial slate, including Bake with Anna Olson, and, in time for the summer Olympics, SuperBodies. Peace Point is actively seeking out co-productions and format opportunities as well, according to Les Tomlin, the company’s president and CEO.
This move is the latest in Peace Point’s expansion efforts, after having established a U.S. operation and a dedicated digital group. So what’s next on the company’s roster? Tomlin talks to TV Real Weekly about the opportunities that lie ahead.
