As Nicely Entertainment approaches its fifth anniversary, the Los Angeles-based film and TV production and distribution company will present at MIPCOM a slate of 16 brand new films—including nine originals—all available for the worldwide market.
For Great American Family, Nicely delivered "The Christmas Post" starring Merrit Patterson as well as "A Christmas Castle Proposal: A Royal in Paradise 2" starring Rhiannon Fish (sequel to 2022’s global hit "A Royal in Paradise").
This year also marked a new growth vertical for Nicely, the expansion of its production arm Nicely Productions. With six original feature films produced, Nicely will continue its strong level of output with 'feel-good' romance films like "Technically Yours" and "Heartstrings Attached" and Holiday Romance content like "A Country Music Christmas" starring Jonathan Stoddard and Alexandra Harris, which will premiere in the USA this Christmas season.
Nicely will arrive at MIPCOM having recently closed a flurry of worldwide sales, including its brand new "Christmas on the Ranch" going to US’ Hulu and "The Holiday Exchange" starring Kyle Richards premiering in the UK on ITV and all major VOD platforms in the USA. "A Christmas Castle Proposal" has been sold to Belgium’s RTL, UK’s Sky, and Czech Republic’s FTV Prima. Nicely’s "Designing Christmas with You" went to Hungary’s RTL, Portugal’s NOS, Belgium’s RTL, UK’s Sky, and Czech Republic’s FTV Prima. And Nicely’s Lifetime original "A Christmas to Treasure" and Nicely Production original "A Perfect Christmas Pairing" were sold to France’s C8.
Nicely’s genre label Darkly Entertainment equally saw an uptick in sales. Darkly’s disaster film "Super Icyclone" was licensed to Canada’s Québecor, and Darkly’s "In Her Likeness," "Her Fatal Fling," "Exile," and Lifetime original "Hunting Housewives" were licensed to Czech Republic’s FTV Prima.
Additional releases at MIPCOM include the beautiful romance movie "A Wedding for Belle" with Ella Cannon, which will premiere in the US in 2025, as well as the new holiday movies "A Heart for Christmas" with The Ohio State University football star Maurice Hall and "The Christmas Brew."
Vanessa Shapiro, CEO and Founder of Nicely Entertainment referred to how her company grew in a short period of time:"As we near our fifth year, we are excited to present a great lineup of feel-good romance films. I launched Nicely in January of 2020 and here we are, almost five years later with over 100 films in our catalog. We are proud to continue to think outside the box which allows us to keep growing," stated.
