Prime Entertainment Group has built its reputation around a strong focus on factual entertainment, complemented by a rich portfolio of documentaries and animation titles. As Sales Managers Alexandra Zervas and Çağlasu Şenozan explain, factual remains the company’s cornerstone thanks to in-house productions and close collaboration with a team in Los Angeles. “We are mainly focused on factual entertainment around Hollywood stories which is basically behind the scenes, red carpets, portraits for celebrities, film directors in different formats… At least there's something for everybody,” Zervas notes. Their latest production, “Throwback”, revives a “top 10”, 6,30 minutes format, with a modern twist, featuring episodes on the biggest Hollywood blockbusters, films by female directors, and iconic female characters.
In documentaries, Prime is spearheading “Mengele Remains”, a Brazilian-Argentinian co-production that blends history, forensic science, and investigative storytelling. The project uncovers how Joseph Mengele’s remains were discovered in Brazil and identified decades later, featuring insights from scientists, historians, and neighbours. “We're very excited to have in our offer such an original production described as a scientific thriller happening in 1985 and we're kind of launching it right now, and we hope to have some great results at MIPCOM,” says Zervas.
The company also boasts an enviable animation slate, including cult classics long feature films from Michel Ocelot as The “Kirikou“ Trilogy, and “Princes and Princesses”, from Sylvain Chaumet “The Triplets of Belleville”. Beyond heritage titles, Prime is also representing this year a new Sacrebleu ‘s TV special “The Song Of Storms” created by Caroline Attia Lariviere. It will be premiere at Canal+ France early 2026, and it was presold to Switzerland and expected to launch at MIPCOM. Zervas describes it as “a very touching, inspiring and modern animation special,” emphasizing both its artistry and ecological message.
Another standout is “Lola and the Piano Sound”, a 26-minute stop-motion special by Folimage, praised for its sensitive depiction of autism and diversity. “They got the Audience Award at Annecy last year and won more than 20 animation festivals awards internationally. It's important to keep independent animation alive,” stresses Zervas. The title has already sold to broadcasters in Canada, Italy’s Rai, and Czech Television. Meanwhile, our beloved TV special “Vanille” has traveled as far as NHK Japan, a major achievement for a French animated production.
On the documentary side, Prime’s catalogue continues to explore cinema and cultural history with titles such as “Dirty Hollywood”, examining the ties between mafia and Hollywood; “Beyond The Border: Latinx Representation In Hollywwod”, focusing on Latin American important role and influence in U.S. cinema; and “Native American Voices in Hollywood”, which traces the portrayal of Indigenous communities from the silent movies era to today.
Looking to the future, the arrival of Executive Manager Leyla Formoso marks a new phase of tailored growth. “With our new manager, Leyla Formoso, we are expanding into brand-new content, brand-new territories. We're trying to do tailor-made selection for clients,” Zervas explains. The company is placing a special focus in all the Americas Western And Eastern Europe, where, as Şenozan points out, “things move very fast… there's a big history of big appetite from public TV broadcasters for documentaries and it's still quite strong.”
