The first co-production from the alliance of Turkey’s Inter Media and Chile’s MGE, drama series ‘Love and Pride’ (Aşk ve Gurur), has begun filming.
Directed by Murat Şenoy, the drama revolves around the Köksoylar family, with a series of love triangles and internal conflicts. The family is on the verge of financial ruin and in a state of great panic when Tolga enters their lives as a savior. They are unaware that Tolga is also in financial trouble and hopes to marry one of the Köksoylar daughters to solve his money problems.
Inter Medya will handle the international distribution of the series, brought to life through the partnership of MGE, Inter Medya, and Yeşil Yapım.
Can Okan, founder and CEO of Inter Medya, said about the project, “Love and Pride, executed with a wholly Turkish creative team and cast, encapsulates all the requisite elements for a co-production.
