Keshet: true crime, biopic and aspirational

Karina Etchison, Sales Manager, LatAm, Iberia and MENA

This MIPCOM, Keshet International is back in Cannes with the biggest delegation since 2019, and the company has a slate to match with global buyers, including six brand-new shows.

Recently appointed as Sales Manager, LatAm, Iberia and MENA, Karina Etchison promotes on its first market My Name is Reeva: I was Murdered by Oscar Pistorius, an international celebrity true crime story that resonates with everyone, young and old, on so many different levels. Almost a decade ago, Olympian sprinter Oscar Pistorius shot his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine’s Day and her tragic death is still making headlines around the world.

‘It’s an emotional journey that tugs at the heart. This three-parter also shares explosive new evidence and theories that were never presented in court and also allows Reeva’s close friends and family to speak publicly for the first time about her tragic murder and who she really was as a person, described the executive.

Etchison is also pushing the LatAm buyers to the new production Cuba Libre, a vibrant and sensual biopic set in Cuba against the political backdrop of the Cuban missile crisis. Produced by Hop! Films for RTP (Portugal), it’s the true story of Annie, a young Portuguese woman who gave everything to the Cuban revolution and Che Guevara, and the stunning actress who plays her, Beatriz Gordinho, is so captivating to watch.

KI new BBC One series, Ralph & Katieis a truly inclusive six-part drama shows two young people with Down’s Syndrome deal with the same challenges that every newly married couple faces when moving in together, and it’s joyous to watch.

As is I Do, But With Who, our new format from Rockerdale(UK), which has just been ordered by Keshet 12 (Israel). ‘It’s so much fun, trying to guess who is marrying who, and it reminds me that we are all still united in our search for true love’, remarked Etchison.

‘Another thing that unites us, particularly in Latin America, is our love of watching aspirational series like Billionaires Resorts, which shows in glorious technicolor that there is no limit to the decadence, opulence, and sheer luxury that extreme wealth can buy. It’s a beautiful window into a world where the other half live.

And, of course, Killer Camp, the horror-themed reality competition format for ITV and the CW that is gaining traction again, with a new order in the Netherlands from Amazon Prime, and options in Italy and France’, she concluded.
