Their German co-production GAMBLING ON EXTINCTION is also about to go into production. Real to Reel also has signed four co-pro agreements, two in 3D, with Norm Wilkinson’s Visionquest in Queensland and look forward to launching them later in the year.
I am interested in meeting potential co-pro partners interested in series suitable for both domestic and international markets particularly in wildlife and 'non destination' focussed travel shows.
