Hat Trick Sign First Output Deal With KEO Films

Hat Trick International (HTI) has signed its first output deal with KEO films which sees the wholly independent distributor exclusively representing KEO’s factual portfolio from MIPTV 2012 onwards.
As a result of the agreement, Hat Trick's factual catalogue alone will now consist of more than 170 hours of finished programmes plus numerous formats.
New titles acquired as part of the agreement, which will total over fifty hours of new programming, include the Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall fronted Hugh’s Three Hungry Boys, alongside successful titles such as Living with the Amish, The Big Bread Experiment and Jerusalem on a Plate.
Sarah Tong, Director of Sales at Hat Trick International said: "It’s been part of our strategy to build our factual catalogue through strategic partnerships with quality factual producers. KEO films is a great fit for HTI and I’m thrilled to be representing their wide range of programming and formats worldwide. Together with our existing slate of quality factual titles, this new deal makes HTI not only a leading distributor of the UK’s best comedy, but also as a factual distributor to be reckoned with."
Zam Baring, Chairman of KEO films said: "What impressed us about HTI’s approach to representing our catalogue is that they aim to offer a service which is the closest thing to an in-house distribution arm possible. They have considered how best to support our business and champion our brands as carefully as we would ourselves."
Debbie Manners, KEO’s Managing Director added: "HTI beat some stiff competition to win our business and we feel confident that we have chosen the best partner there is to exploit our content internationally. I look forward to working with Sarah and her team to ensure this important revenue stream not only thrives but grows."
