Nathalie Pinguet, Superights’ deputy general manager for sales and acquisitions, tells World Screen Newsflash about the live-action musical tween show Home Sweet Rome!, with input from Pedro Citaristi, Red Monk’s CEO and executive producer of the series, and Charles Braud, managing director of Superprod’s 440Hz.
Home Sweet Rome is developed and written by Degrassi alums, Humanitas winner Matt Huether and Daytime® Emmy-nominee Courtney Jane Walker, who will both serve as showrunners. Shot entirely on location in Rome and featuring exciting original songs in each episode, the series is unique in its blending of American and European sensibilities.
Superights has sold Zibilla, an antibullying special, into Italy, where it will premiere on Rai Yoyo and RaiPlay on February 7, the Italian national day against bullying.
