Drama from FremantleMedia at MIPTV 2006

Fremantle International Distribution (FID), the distribution arm of global production outfit FremantleMedia, has unveiled its slate of drama programming to be featured at April’s MIPTV.
David Ellender, Managing Director, Fremantle International Distribution, announced that FID is to present two world-class dramas to headline its fictional offerings at MIPTV. The first, ‘A Good Murder’ (2 x 90 minutes), is a psychological thriller which will have audiences gripped.
Inspired by the true story of Jacqui Johnson and her seven children, four of whom are autistic, ‘Magnificent 7’ (1 x 90 minutes) is a poignant and uplifting film which provides testament to the struggles, disasters, tears, laughter and triumphs that this unusual family face over the course of a year.
David Ellender, Managing Director, Fremantle International Distribution, commented: “The drama programmes we bring to market are both striking pieces with first-rate production values and performances. They will be equally appealing to broadcasters who are seeking programming which really connects with viewers. Similarly, our comedy programming is second to none and we look forward to sharing them with broadcasters from around the world.”
