OASIS INTERNATIONAL, one of North America’s largest independent distributors of television and filmed entertainment, has announced an eleven-title deal with the major television network, Hallmark International for the United Kingdom, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, Benelux and Middle East and Russian feeds.
The closing deal includes some of OASIS INTERNATIONAL’S top titles such as the Lifetime/CTV movie Murder on Her Mind, a true crime drama that leaves one woman mistakenly behind bars; three inspiring unauthorized life stories, Celine, Shania and Michael Jackson that all uniquely tell their true accounts ‘from rags to riches’; the romantic comedy The Wedding Wish starring Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) and the Barna Alper produced series Show Me Yours for the new DIVA channel. Show Me Yours is made for Showcase in Canada and airs on Oxygen in the USA. The Toronto-and LA-based distributor also included in the deal Mail Order Bride, which was produced for Hallmark USA by BLUEPRINT ENTERTAINMENT. Mail Order Bride stars Daphne Zuniga (Melrose Place, One Tree Hill), Greg Evigan (Desperate Housewives, 100 Million BC) and Cameron Bancroft (24, Beautiful People).
“The Hallmark team has done their homework and know exactly what their audiences are looking for,” said Prentiss Holman, Director of International Sales for Oasis. “It’s been a real pleasure to put this deal together with Mark and his group.”
“The Oasis slate offers a perfect mix of mystery, romance and comedy,” said Mark Lawrence, Director of Global Acquisitions for Hallmark. “We’ll definitely look to them for future cooperation.”
A dynamic and innovative independent distributor, OASIS INTERNATIONAL has built strong ties to the international film and television community delivering over 3,000 hours of programming and significant presence at all key industry events including this year’s DISCOP held in Budapest on June 18th.
