Bad Rap
Before Awkwafina was, well, Awkwafina – comic whirlwind, breakout TV personality, Disney voice actor, Marvel co-star – she was one of the four Asian-American hip-hop artists profiled in Salima Koroma’s 2016 documentary, which is landing on Gem as part of the Asian Heritage collection.

There has been strong momentum building and continued growth on the scripted side of Cineflix Rights’ business, with projects coming from both Cineflix Studios and third-party producers. “The deal for the Israeli series
Tehran with Apple TV+ was the most significant of those, but we’ve also been successfully rolling out
Coroner,
The Minister, Mirage and
Happily Married through further international deals,” says Chris Bonney, CEO Rights, Cineflix Media. “It’s been pleasing to see the market reacting so positively to our scripted slate.”
The company is building on this momentum with new drama titles such as
Crime-solving cafe owner Kerry Godliman in Whitstable Pearl
UK distributor Cineflix Rights has unveiled a slate of scripted and factual content for next week’s Digital MipTV, led by crime drama Whitstable Pearl.
Six-part procedural Whitstable Pearl stars Kerry Godliman (Derek, After Life) as a crime-solving cafe owner. It is produced by Cineflix-owned Buccaneer Media for Acorn TV, the AMC Networks-owned platform hosting UK content for a foreign audience.
Another crime offering is Rebecca (8×60’), a French series made locally by Elephant for French broadcaster TF1. Based on Cineflix’s ITV series Marcella, which has run since 2016, the show sees Parisian police officer Rebecca return to the force after six years away, only to find that her previous target is also back.
