For immediate release:
London/Hampshire, Wednesday 24th July 2024 – Indie distributor Woodcut International has finalised sales with various European broadcasters who snapped up the 2-part documentary series Titanic in Colour.
A Woodcut Media production, Titanic in Colour (2 x 45’) has been picked up by YLE (Finland), DR TV (Denmark), SVT (Sweden), Warner Bros. Discovery (Italy), RMC Découverte (France), Česká Televize (Czech Republic) and Viasat World.
“In no time at all this title has proved really popular with our buyers as it appeals to such a diverse contemporary audience. Titanic in Colour’s distinct feel breathes new life into some incredible and unusual stories surrounding one of history’s most devasting maritime disasters,” said Koulla Anastasi, Managing Director, Woodcut International.
Titanic in Colour already pre-sold to C4 (UK) and SBS (Australia).
When the Titanic sank on the 15th April 1912, the news shook the world. Now, thanks to painstaking research and unique colourisation techniques, this incredible documentary brings to life everything from the lavish interiors of the ship, artefacts and clothing from passengers (that gives insight into their lives), through to the larger-than-life people who built, sailed on and ultimately survived the sinking. Featuring captivating interviews and some exclusives with relatives of the passengers and the crew, Titanic in Colour uncovers little-known stories, like the impact on Southampton ‘the city of widows’ and the long-lasting psychological trauma of many of those who lived to tell the gruesome tale.
Series Producer is Jonathan Mayo, whilst Kate Beal and Tom Adams serve as Executive Producers. Woodcut International is handling worldwide sales.
Titanic in Colour has already pre-sold to C4 (UK) and SBS (Australia) and is scheduled to TX in the next few months.
