| 22 April 2021 Israeli independent studio Federation Entertainment has finalised several major global sales for its latest series Blackspace, described as a “riveting” psychological thriller that takes place in an Israeli high school. The company says that its foundation heralds a new breed of independent studios, focusing on the creation, production, financing and distribution of high-quality original productions for the global marketplace. Written by Anat Gafni and Sahar Shavit and directed by Ofir Lobel, Blackspace is co-produced by Drama Team (Chaim Sharir, Mosh Danon) and Federation Entertainment (Pascal Breton, Lionel Uzan) for Reshet 13. The 8 x 60’ series begins with what looks like a normal morning at a small-town high school in Israel but turns into a nightmare when anonymous masked figures commit a massacre leaving four students dead. Chaos reigns between terrified parents as an investigation ensues. The lead detective knows this school well as he himself experienced a trauma many years before.
