ended

The historical crime drama Detective von Fock is intended as a recurring series of 4x45’ seasons. In order to produce a high-quality period show, we have put together an unusual constellation of organic co-production partners in Estonia, Latvia, and Italy. This innovative financing scheme will allow us to produce a series that meets the international production standards, sustainability, diversity and inclusion requirements, and manifest European values. The co-production between the three producers will be implemented on all levels. Talent from all countries will be involved. Production and post-production will be divided between all partners. International distribution will be handled by an experienced company from Germany guaranteeing the project’s visibility. The Italian local distributor will diverse financing techniques. Public broadcasters from all three Baltics are attached, with Estonian Public Broadcasting financing an unprecedented figure for an original series, amounting almost one third of the budget. The benefits that all parties involved will gain from the project are varied and extensive - crew members from each country will gain priceless international experience and thereby new opportunities; the producers from the low production capacity countries of the Baltics as well as Italy’s Alto Adige region will advance from service providers to co-producers; the international cast not only widen’s the project’s marketing options in each country, but also reflects the values of European cooperation - sharing and uniting. Detective von Fock is scheduled to be shot in summer 2024 with delivery planned for late Q1 2025. Along with premieres in the co-production countries, the series will be submitted for established series festivals and aims to hold its international premiere at Series Mania in Lille, France, and its German premiere at Seriencamp, Cologne. The distribution debut of the series is planned for Series Mania Forum.
