INTERVIEW | ‘‘THE SERVANT OF NATION’’ “We plan to shoot not only second season, but also a full movie for the cinema release”. “We have few interesting screenplays for feature-length fiction of various genres – comedy, psychological thriller, drama. We`re looking for partners for its production”. SSTR: What other projects do you plan to realize in 2016? Kvartal 95: We have a lot of plans. Firstly, we actively develop our animation studio. It is one of the priorities. Few projects are launching – animated adaptation of series The In-Laws and The Kitchen. Also we have feature-length animated projects, including modern fairytale Gulliver returns. And we really want to produce animation for children because today it`s a highly demanded content worldwide. We have few interesting screenplays for feature-length fiction of various genres – comedy, psychological thriller, drama. We`re looking for partners for its production. Very possibly our super successful series The In-Laws will be continued. A screenplay of the seventh season is already finished. “In the nearest future we plan opening a representative office of our company in Europe and USA”. We`re working on new TV projects and formats. A new format Crack Them Up. Children is coming out soon. A second season of The Laughter League, the national humor festival, is on now. BOTTOM LINE We are very grateful to Kvartal 95 for kind & interesting reply. And moreover it is really great that besides the fact our viewers have got a strong & quality TV product, the series itself hopefully could be a kind of another brick in the forming of anti-corruption public opinion. SSTR: To sum up, is your production focused on overseas markets? Which exactly? Kvartal 95: Now we focus on Western markets – Eastern, Western Europe and USA. In countries of so-called “Russian-speaking region” our content is already recognized, beloved and demanded. Now we strike for the West. Although we have a successful experience in cooperation with China. Several TV formats are sold there, for example, Crack Them Up and Claim to Meladze. We are actively expanding internationally, that`s why we participate in the biggest industry forums like MIPTV or MIPCOM in Cannes, where we`ve been recently represented by an own stand. In the nearest future we plan opening a representative office of our company in Europe and USA. 30 | SEASON SCREEN TV REVIEW | ISSUE 5 FEBRUARY 2016 INFOTOY 26X7 MIN, 2015, HD
