INTERNATIONAL TV DRAMA SUCCESS
Bona Broadcasting is the only Scottish production company (and one of only 3 British companies) to reach the finals of the prestigious international drama festival Roma Fiction Fest 2008. Our long running TV drama series The Clap Trap is one of just ten continuing drama series in development selected by an international jury from hundreds of worldwide submissions. It is the only British entry in the Series and Serials final. Bona Broadcasting’s director Turan Ali will be pitching the project to the international jury, and dozens of drama commissioners from six continents, in Rome in July with great prospects for international co-production deals.
