Limonero Films prioritises factual with a festival feel' UK-BASED boutique distributor Limonero Films is at MIPTV with an expanded team, said managing director Pamela Martinez Martinez. It's the first time we've been to Cannes with our new sales and acquisition manager Tijana Djukic. It's been a great opportunity for us to network with clients and find out what their current needs are.
Limonero specialises in two key areas of factual content, Martinez said: Factual entertainment and high quality, one-off documentaries that have a kind of festival feel to them. A good example of the first category is Sora Media's series Ahead Of Their Time (8 x 48 mins), which looks at the visionary founders of businesses like Netflix, Quorn and Airbnb. In the other category are films like From Iran To La Liga and the award-winning film Fashion Babylon.
A key priority at MIPTV is a new factual entertainment series called Hero Dogs, produced by South Africa-based production company Gray Matters Films and distributed by Limonero. Martinez said she is in Cannes to look for broadcasters to back the project. Other MIPTV priorities include science documentary Water: The Strangest Liquid and The Active City.
Launched six years ago, Limonero came to MIPTV on the back of some strong sales. Make Waves Media's Thirties In Colour: Countdown To War was sold to NHK Japan, RAI Italy and RTL Germany, among others. Wild Relations was picked up by KBS in Korea and Radio Television Hong Kong.
Martinez said Limonero is willing to work with producers anywhere as long as we believe in their projects. Ahead Of Their Time was our first collaboration with Sora, a Singapore-based company.

Hollywood legend Joan Collins begins world tour ABACUS Media Rights (AMR) has unveiled multiple sales for feature-length documentary This Is Joan Collins, a compelling film which tells the life story of the Hollywood legend Joan Collins in her own words.
This Is Joan Collins (AMR)
This Is Joan Collins has been licensed to broadcasters and platforms including BritBox (US and Canada), Turner Classic Movies (US), SBS (Australia), MNET (South Africa) and Movistar plus (Spain).
Jonathan Ford, managing director at AMR said: This is a fascinating and engrossing film-length documentary which lifts the lid on the incredible life of one of Britain's most famous acting legends.
Full of never-before-seen home movie footage and archive, the film offers an intimate glimpse into one of the world's most iconic figures. A story about Hollywood, men, showbiz, it is narrated by Joan Collins.
Comic-book hero comes to life in BBC series BBC STUDIOS has optioned Eve Stranger, the comic-book series created by writer David Barnett and illustrated by Philip Bond, for TV series development.
Eve Stranger
Eve Stranger is the story of the enigmatic Eve, who has unlimited funds, a jet-set lifestyle and extraordinary abilities - as well as amnesia and a growing suspicion that she's working for the bad guys. Released as a miniseries in 2019, it was one of the core titles of comic-book editor Shelly Bond's Black Crown imprint. Chris Ryall, co-founder of Syzygy Publishing, will serve as an executive producer on the series.
What David and Philip created under Shelly Bond's auspices is a character for the ages, said Ryall. Eve is a black-ops action hero capable of amazing feats but incapable of remembering last week. Every job, Eve wakes up with a new assignment and a bloodstream filled with nanobombs that can only be suppressed by the contents of a mind-erasing syringe and after her misadventures with giant gorillas, extreme assassins, and other unsavoury types, she has found the perfect partner in BBC Studios, and so have we. Barnett added: I could not think of better hands in which to put an adaptation of Eve Stranger than BBC Studios' drama production department. They totally get what Philip and I were doing with the Eve Stranger comics and I simply cannot wait to see how the high-octane thrills, quirky humour and sheer non-stop adventure is translated to television.
