Global independent content distributor GoQuest Media has acquired two award-winning drama series from Estonian pubcaster ERR. The deal gives the Mumbai-based company exclusive worldwide distribution rights to the spy thriller Traitor (6x58’), which premiered on ETV in September 2020, and Divorce in Peace (20x28’), a dramedy series.

Czech Republic director Viktor Taus tells TBI about the “happy, closed circle” of his recent drugs drama RATS, his country’s burgeoning scripted scene and how he’s kept busy during lockdowns.

There are several key strategies in GoQuest Media’s core mission that set the company apart: its determination to discover overlooked titles with promise, homing in on a boutique portfolio and providing due attention to the titles and their creators, and its Southeast Asia-focused network. “To discover hidden gems from parts of the world that may have been previously looked over by some of the more major global players, I think that’s one of the major advantages to being an indie company,” says Paula McHarg, head of Europe and North America at GoQuest.

GoQuest (India) continues to grow its catalogue of dramatic content from around the world, with particular emphasis on productions coming from Eastern Europe and CIS. Launching at MIPTV is Civil Servant (24x'50), a new Serbian spy thriller from Telekom Srbija and Film Danas, an exciting departure for the international TV marketplace.
