"Secrets of Ancient Structures"
Go Button Media has struck a robust new slate deal with partners Autentic and Super Channel, that includes delivery of six series, each of six hours’ duration, over the next three years. Autentic will handle the titles’ global distribution outside of Canada.
This form of slate agreement, created within the current challenging climate, encourages cost efficiencies in production and operations while ensuring the budget stays on screen, guaranteeing an effective and creative pipeline to all three partners. This alliance will leverage Go Button’s expertise in producing entertaining, informative and dynamic science, wildlife, history and engineering content while also capitalizing on Autentic's experience in both editorial development and international distribution of factual content. Together, they will meet the growing demand for factual programming in the global marketplace, addressing the evolving needs of international audiences.
The first greenlit title is "Secrets of Ancient Structures"(6x60’), which will take viewers around the globe and across time to examine some of the most remarkable achievements by ancient civilisations. The series will deliver in the summer of 2025), with international distribution (exc Canada) handled by Autentic Distribution.
Daniel Oron, co-founder and executive producer at Go Button Media, comments: “Being a boutique production company during a decline in the worldwide industry is challenging. However, we’ve been able to evolve a strategic approach that has allowed us to grow and continue to produce creative and impactful factual content that meets the programming needs of our valued clients. From 'The Animal Within', our very first series for Autentic, we knew we had found an entirely compatible business partner who enjoyed collaborating as much as we, and Super Channel, do. Weare thrilled to be working on this new slate together and to jumpstart production following the greenlight for 'Secrets of Ancient Structures'.”
Patrick Hörl, managing director at Autentic, says: “We take great pride in consistently delivering high-quality content to the international market and collaborating with the very best partners to achieve this. Go Button’s previous productions have performed exceptionally well globally, so extending our partnership with this longer-term deal was a natural choice, ensuring a steady stream of engaging programming over the next three years. What truly distinguishes this collaboration is the excellent cooperation in the editorial process, and we deeply appreciate the creative vision and storytelling expertise that the team at Go Button brings to every project. We’re excited to work with them and Super Channel on these upcoming projects and to bring them to a wide international audience”
Kim Ball, chief content officer at Super Channel adds:“Whatever the subject, Go Button never fails to deliver engaging factual series that entertain and inform. We are excited to come onboard for this new content slate and look forward to working with the Go Button and Autentic teams again to explore some fascinating new topics”
