I am sure that this strategy will allow us to grow within the industry, offering our customers carefully selected products with firm development and impeccable production.”

Joshua Mintz: “This is an extraordinary opportunity to partner with my friend and colleague Ana Celia Urquidi at Atenea Media. With the support of Nadav Palti and Dori Media, I am confident it will serve our clients and audiences with great success.”

Earlier this year, Dori Media began selling the new Spanish-language episodes of Lalola, which successfully debuted in February on ViX, as well as the series’ format rights to global territories outside of Latin America and the U.S. Lalola, which is produced by Dori Media International, is a modern-day remake of the hit International Emmy-nominated romantic comedy that originally aired in 2008-2009.

Dori Media also recently announced the opening of sales for two of its big new action-drama series, Amia and Indal. Amia, which was filmed in Uruguay and Argentina, was inspired by the terror attacks of 1992 on the Israeli embassy and 1994 against the Argentinian Jewish community. Indal is an action-packed series that follows the kidnapping of a police officer by a group of Ethiopian Israeli youth.
