International sales agent Incredible Film announces a new distribution deal with beIN Neo (part of the beIN Media Group) for the live action pre-school series "Saïd & Anna" (16x6,5’). beIN Neo will handle distribution of the series across MENA territories, where Saïd & Anna will be available in Arabic, English and French on Free to Air, Pay TV and VOD.
"Saïd & Anna", which has been nominated for this year’s Banff World Media Festival‘s Rockie Awards, follows best friends Saïd (6) and Anna (7) who hang out every day in the repair shop, and learn how to find solutions to their own challenges, in a creative and collaborative way.
