Building European connections with Asacha Media Group

15-03-2023

Maria Ishak of Asacha Media Group outlines the fast-growing company’s plans to expand further into unscripted and what she looks for in a coproduction, and talks through the new slate of shows on C21’s Digital Screenings.

European production company Asacha Media Group is built around seven prodcos: Kabo Family, Srab Films and Mintee in France; Picomedia and Stand by Me in Italy; and Red Planet Pictures and Wag Entertainment in the UK.

The group predominately operates in the scripted space but produces unscripted content too and intends to increase its focus on the latter in line with a heightened demand for premium factual shows and docs.

“Our DNA is about 80% scripted but we’re looking to put more emphasis on and investment into factual programming,” says Maria Ishak, Asacha’s head of international content and coproductions.
