ECCHO RIGHTS AGREE OUTPUT DEAL WITH BORN WILD

Eccho Rights has signed an output deal with UK-based production company Born Wild, which will see the two companies work together on developing drama series.

Born Wild is headed by producer Anthony Alleyne, and is currently working on a number of titles which already have international co-production partners in place.

Examples include The Crystal Isle - a drug smuggling dark black comedy, based on a true story, and backed by national broadcaster RTP in Portugal - One Euro Village, a mockumentary focused on an Italian village selling dilapidated homes for €1 to stay alive, and Ezequiel Himes - a post-Apocalyptic Spaghetti Western, featuring telepathic undead, based on a Graphic Novel by acclaimed Spanish Graphic Artists, Victor Santos and Alberto Hernandez.

Also in development is Red Swamp, a thriller set in the Finnish Swamps, where a group of French explorers investigating a new world unveiled by melting arctic glaciers, discover that they have become prey. This project has been selected as part of the Film France/Nordic Film Commissions' showcase event happening as part of Focus 2020 in December.
