Breakthrough To Handle Worldwide Distribution Of The Dramatic Series
Inspired By The Bestselling Graphic Novel Series, Miss Don't Touch Me Delivers A Dark, Sexy And Visually Compelling Look Into The World Where Fantasy And Fetish Collide
For MIPCOM 2014:
CANNES (October 13, 2014) - Breakthrough Entertainment and Toronto-headquartered feature film production company Sudden Storm Entertainment have teamed to co-produce Miss Don't Touch Me (13 x 30; 6 x 60), a dramatic series that peeks into a dark and sexy world of fantasy, fetish and murder. Breakthrough Entertainment will also handle worldwide distribution of the drama, launching sales at MIPCOM.
Based on the critically-acclaimed bestselling graphic novel series, Miss Don't Touch Me follows a young woman who is traumatized after witnessing the brutal murder of her sister and embarks on a dangerous road for revenge. She follows a mysterious figure to The Pompadour, an expansive and exclusive brothel hidden in a private enclave and known only to a select and powerful few. Convinced her sister's murder is connected to a regular patron known as The Butcher of the Dances, she tricks her way in and becomes hired as the house dominatrix. As she gets closer to solving the murder of her sister, she also discovers her own hidden depths and gains a new sense of confidence as the Pompadour's popular Miss Don't Touch Me.
Miss Don't Touch Me is published by giant European publishing house and media company Media Participations. Parent company to such major publishers as Dargaud, Le Lombard, Kana, and Dupuis, Media-Participations is the undisputed leader of the European comic world. The collection of Miss Don't Touch Me volumes rank as bestsellers in Europe as well as the U.S. and have earned both critical praise as well as numerous prestigious publishing awards.
The graphic novel rights were negotiated by Lauren Duvault for Dargaud, the publisher of the series based in France.
Miss Don't Touch Me is powerful television that delivers intense drama and a highly stylized look. Certain to draw television viewers with each and every compelling episode, broadcasters everywhere should not miss Miss Don't Touch Me, said Nat Abraham, President of Distribution for Breakthrough Entertainment.
We are delighted to join with Breakthrough Entertainment to bring Miss Don't Touch Me to worldwide television. The series carries on the best tradition of memorable and impactful sexy thrillers, said Sudden Storm Entertainment Co-Presidents Jesse Ikeman and Jeff Glickman.
At MIPCOM, Breakthrough Entertainment is located at P1:A0.
