APC, Hat Trick & DCD Unite for London TV Screenings — Global Briefs


APC, Hat Trick & DCD Joins Forces For London Screenings

A trio of distributors will join forces to showcase their latest wares at next year’s London TV Screenings. About Premium Content (APC), Hat Trick International (HTI) and DCD Rights will combine to introduce buyers to content at an event on Tuesday, February 25 at the Vue West End in Leicester Square from 4.30pm-7.30pm local time. APC co-founders Emmanuelle Guilbart and Laurent Boisse and HTI chief Sarah Tong noted how combing efforts would allow time-stretched acquisitions execs access to more programming during an increasingly busy week of international screenings. DCD Rights and Hat Trick have jointly screened at the Vue for the past two years. DCD Rights CEO Nicky Davies-Williams said she was “pleased to have APC join us and HTI for our annual screenings and drinks at the Vue, which has proved to be a must attend event over the past years.” Guilbart Boisse added: “We are conscious of the draw on buyers’ time with so many shows to screen across the city as the London Screenings continues to grow so we hope this offers a practical and useful opportunity.”
