Phil Gurin’s LA-based distributor TGC Global Entertainment (TGC) is expanding its international network into MENA and Latin America by signing representation deals with Dubai-based Different Productions and Colombia’s Miracol Media.
Under the terms of the agreements, TGC will sell titles from both prodcos internationally, including Miracol’s reality football competition Soccer Dreams.
The 10-part series, originally commissioned by Colombia’s RCN, is a talent search format in which former football professionals train promising young amateurs.
TGC has also added two shows from Different Productions (Dubai Bling) to its slate. The Mall sees contestants take on challenges while living in a shopping centre, while The Star was Saudi Arabia’s first ever singing competition format.
US format veteran Gurin launched TGC in January of 2023 to leverage his relationships with key English- and Spanish-speaking territories, Europe, MENA and Asia and create opportunities for third-party independent producers looking to find a global audience for their IP.
Gurin, president and CEO, TGC, said: “Different Productions and Miracol join our fast-growing network of partners, which now circles the globe, from Europe through Asia to Australia and New Zealand.
“It’s not just TGC that benefits from this pool of local and regional knowledge, experience and contacts. As these option deals demonstrate, there’s also huge potential for the cross-pollination of ideas and business within the TGC family.”
