Autentic partners with Go Buttom Media for new factual series

Factual production house and distributor Autentic is expanding its long-term partnership with Go Button Media, commissioning four new factual series from the Canadian-based prodco: "Deadly Science"; "Mapping Disaste"; "Spies that Mapped the World" and "Colossal Machines II". All series are designed for an international audience, starting production in 2022.

With the commissioning of the series, Autentic expands its activities of financing projects in the early stages of development, greenlighting them as the trigger financier. In return, Autentic acquires exclusive territories and rights, as well as worldwide distribution rights. Partner producers are co-investors and therefore benefit from a revenue share and/or exclusive territories.

“The cooperation with Go Button is one of the best examples for our content strategy, as it confirms how valuable it is for us to build long-term partnerships for our channel business as well as our production and distribution activities”, comments Alexandra Boehm, Head of International Coproduction at Autentic GmbH.

“Our continued expanding relationship with Autentic not only strengthens our global business, it also fuels our creative output by challenging us to develop and produce exciting new angles on high demand genres. Autentic is continuously inspiring us to innovate”, says Daniel Oron, Executive Producer at Go Button Media.
