Espresso's 2023 Roundup: what we've been up to this year
Espresso Media International
International documentary distribution team - informing, entertaining, and helping storytellers change the world ????
2023 has been an incredibly busy year for us, and we've got lots of highlights to share. Read on for a summary!
The team have hugely enjoyed attending markets across the world this year, from Hot Docs in Toronto, to MIPTV and MIPCOM in Cannes.
One huge highlight was Sunny Side of the Doc, where we hosted a stand for the first time. We had a brilliant time meeting producers and buyers at our stand, as well as getting stuck into the pitching sessions!
Most recently, we've been attending Content London and expanding our presence in Asia by attending ATF in Singapore.
We've had a year to be proud of, licensing incredible titles to brilliant broadcasters and streamers across the globe. Below are just a few of our favourite announcements:
We've acquired an incredible range of documentaries and factual entertainment over the past year. From engaging history and science programmes to high-profile talent, we are honoured to be representing such a diverse range of content that seeks to inform, entertain, and change the world.
Highlights include Below the Belt, executive-produced by Hillary Clinton and Rosario Dawson; The Boys Who Said NO! which examines the draft resistance movement against the Vietnam war; best-selling history anniversary documentary JFK: 24 Hours That Changed the World; and the chilling but highly entertaining AI documentary Cyborg Society.
We're honoured to be representing these titles to global buyers, and hope you're as excited about them as we are. Check out our latest releases catalogue to learn more.
We've also welcomed some new faces to the team. Rebecca joined us as our new Head of Sales and Acquisitions, representing our content in the UK, North America and France as well as overseeing new acquisitions. Meanwhile, Eve has joined our sales team, looking after territories including Asia, LATAM and Scandinavia. Our team has seen a lot of personal growth, too, including Ellie being to her current role as Sales Executive! The team have done an incredible job this year.
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of our producers and broadcasters for another wonderful year. We can't wait to continue working with clients old and new in 2024, and are excited to see what the next year brings.
We’ll be closed from 1pm on the 22nd of December and back on the 2ndof January.
Wishing you all a happy holiday season,
David, Rebecca, Eve, Ellie, Georgia & Hannah
