John Hopewell Chief International Correspondent Ron Leshem, creator of the original Israeli “Euphoria” and an exec producer on its U.S. version, has been added to Iberseries & Platino Industria’s conference strand – signalling a larger paradigm pivot at one of the biggest film-TV events in the Spanish-speaking world as it expands to encompass an ever more globalized international TV scene.
Fresh off a huge hit on Israel’s Reshet 13 for Series Mania buzz title “Red Skies,” at Iberseries, Leshem, who co-created “Valley of Tears” and “No Man’s Land,” joins some of the most influential voices on the Spanish-speaking film-TV and beyond such as former Netflix exec Erik Barmack at Wild Sheep Content, Ran Tellem at The Mediapro Studio and Axel Kuschevatzky at Infinity Hill. Wild Sheep has a production alliance with TMS.
At Netflix, Barmack oversaw Netflix’s first-ever push into fully foreign-language content beginning with Mexico’s “Club of Crows” and Brazil’s “3%.” He has now created Wild Sheep Latin America with a dedicated film fund for the region. A Primetime Emmy Award-winning producer on “Homeland,” Tellem, a former exec at Israel’s Keshet, is now spearheading The Mediapro Studio’s drive into English-language series first with “The Head” and “The Head” Season 2, top rating on Hulu Japan, and now “The Young Poe.” A producer on “Argentina, 1985” and many of Argentina’s biggest hits of the last 15 years – “The Secret of Their Eyes,” “Wild Tales,” “The Clan” – working at Telefe or Telefónica Studios, Kuschevatzky is based out of L.A.
All will talk at the third edition of the ever-expanding Iberseries & Platino Industria, which once more takes place in Madrid’s Matadero, over Oct. 3-6.
