Last October, Tims&B Productions confirmed that Inter Medya would handle the global distribution of its most recent dramas, "Valley of Hearts" and "Loveberry," later launched to the international market at the recent Mipcom. To describe the potential of this partnership and its shows, Señal News spoke with Beatriz Cea Okan, VP and Head of Sales and Acquisitions at Inter Medya.
What importance does it hold for Inter Medya to be able to distribute Valley Of Hearts from Tims&B?
"We're absolutely thrilled to continue our wonderful partnership with TIMS&B Productions by bringing 'Valley of Hearts' to the world! We are so happy to handle the international distribution of this incredible new series from the creators of 'Bitter Lands,' which has already captivated audiences in over 80 countries. With 'Valley of Hearts,' we're ready to build on the momentum of 'Bitter Lands' and deliver another breathtaking Turkish drama bound to capture hearts worldwide. This season, 'Valley of Hearts' shines as one of the most exciting and engaging shows, and we couldn't be prouder to introduce it to global audiences. We're beyond excited to watch 'Valley of Hearts' soar to international success!"
What does it mean for Inter Medya that Tims&B continues to trust the company to distribute their productions?
"We're so proud of the strong, trusting partnership we've built with TIMS&B Productions, all based on shared goals and mutual support! Working together with the same vision makes everything so much more meaningful. Over the years, we've established a fantastic rhythm, bringing many of TIMS&B Productions' standout series to global audiences. With open communication and a smooth collaboration, we've moved quickly and achieved amazing results at every stage. Celebrating the worldwide success of hits like 'Bitter Lands,' 'Deception,' 'The Trusted' and more has been such a joy, and we're excited to see this partnership continue to thrive and reach new heights!"
What distribution potential do you think "Valley of Hearts" has in Latin America?
"'Valley of Hearts' is a series with the power to captivate audiences worldwide! We're already in the final stages of signing deals with several Latin American countries, and we're confident that viewers in Latin America will fall in love with it. Like 'Bitter Lands' made waves across the region, 'Valley of Hearts'—created by the same talented team—will surely capture hearts. With the Latin American launch and a special screening we did at Mip Cancun, we do not doubt that interest in 'Valley of Hearts' will soar even higher across Latin America. We're hopeful that we'll be able to share news of our sales here very soon!!
How does "Valley Of Hearts" differ and offer different themes to channels and platforms?
