The four will receive their MIPTV M dailles d'Honneur at a ceremony taking place in Cannes, France on Wednesday 11 April 2018. The prestigious MIPTV M dailles d'Honneur are awarded to senior executives who have, through their talent, leadership and passion, made a significant contribution to the world of television and the development of the international TV community.
After graduating from the prestigious Institute of Political Sciences and earning a PhD in Political Science, Pascal Breton gained his first experience in production in 1981 working on several TV magazine programmes for French broadcasters TF1, France 2 and France 3 as well as Souris Noire,' a live-action children's series for France 3 sold in 14 countries worldwide. He then joined Ellipse-Fiction (Canal+) in 1988 as Head of Drama and Animation and was the coproducer of several series, including Babar,' Tintin' and Zorro'. In 1990, he created his own production company, Marathon, in association with Olivier Br mond. In addition to managing the company, he also wrote and produced Marathon's hit productions: The Intrepids' (52 26 minutes), The Challengers' (104 26 minutes), Saint Tropez' (480 52 minutes), Dolmen' (6 90 minutes), Secrets' (8 52') and Sisterhood' (100 26') among others. He developed the company's first animated projects, such as the hit series Marsupilami' (52 26'), and several feature films, including Larry Clark's Ken Park'. In 2006 after Olivier Br mond's departure from the company, Pascal Breton served as President of Marathon Group and acquired French production companies GTV, ALP ( Koh-Lanta,' Fort Boyard') and KM ( Le Grand Journal') to build the leading French production group. Marathon was then sold to De Agostini and united with Zodiak, Magnolia and RDF Groups. At Zodiak, Pascal was Senior Vice-President of Fiction and was instrumental in the production and distribution of Millennium' as well as the production of the series Versailles' (Capa, Canal+). After his 5-year contract with Zodiak ended in early 2013, Pascal Breton launched 'The Federation': a new production and distribution studio dedicated to high-quality French and international series.

In 2016, she produced the first original Netflix series in Spain, Las Chicas del Cable'.
