Calinos Entertainment celebra 25 años y lanza «Hidden Garden»

La disctribuidora turca Calinos Entertainment está celebrando sus 25 años, y justamente su festejo comenzó en la edición pasada de MIPCOM en Cannes con un evento exclusivo en la playa Copal, por el lanzamiento de su serie Hidden Garden, la cual forma parte del catálogo de la compañía en MIPCancun 2024.

Firat Gulgen, fundador

El evento contó con la participación de las estrellas de la serie, Ebru Sahin y Murat Yildirim, junto con el productor Erol Avci, el guionista y el director. En una emotiva intervención, Firat Gulgen, fundador de Calinos Entertainment, reflexionó sobre el legado de la empresa en el mercado de la televisión, destacando su misión de ‘llevar alegría a una audiencia global a través del poder del drama turco’.

Gulgen recordó cómo, hace 25 años, Calinos comenzó distribuyendo telenovelas en países como Kazajistán, Georgia y Azerbaiyán, y que, desde entonces, ha expandido su alcance a regiones como los Balcanes, Europa del Este, América Latina, y recientemente, Europa Occidental. La empresa ha construido relaciones sólidas con más de 200 redes en 123 países, alcanzando una audiencia global de más de mil millones de personas. ‘Los periodistas me preguntan “¿cuándo terminará la tendencia del drama turco?” Mi respuesta siempre es la misma: esto es solo el comienzo’, afirmó.

La serie Hidden Garden fue una pieza clave de la celebración. Murat Yildirim, quien interpreta a Demir, compartió que su vinculación con el proyecto fue casi mágica, tras soñar que trabajaba con el productor Erol Avci, quien posteriormente le envió el guion de la serie. Por su parte, Ebru Sahin, quien interpreta a Nazlı, invitó a los presentes a sumergirse en la narrativa de la serie, destacando cómo su personaje guarda un “jardín secreto” donde se encuentran sus secretos, sueños y esperanzas. Los invitados participaron en la ceremonia de los deseos, escribiendo sus sueños en notas que colocaron en una “caja de deseos” que será incluida en la trama de la serie.
