 | Krisztina Gallo Television Executive & Co-Production Expert Krisztina is a Budapest based television executive, executive producer and on set producer with expertise in developing and producing content across multiple platforms. Formerly Director of International Television production at Sony Pictures Television International, recently she is Head of the co-production department at Viaplay Group’s Paprika Studios. Her recent projects include the critically acclaimed 'Rysa' and 'Uklad' series ('The Crack' s1, 'The Pact' s2) based on Igor Brejdygant’s best-selling books of the same title. She is a Griffith University and a 2020 EAVE graduate with a passion for discovering new talent and bridging the television co-production borders in Central and Eastern Europe. "Pitching events and co-producions play a pivotal role in television production, particularly in today’s ever-evolving economic landscape. Firstly, pitching events not only provide a platform for content creators to showcase their ideas to potential producers or commissioners, but they are important in fostering innovation and diversity in the industry. In an age where viewers constantly demand fresh and compelling content, pitching events act as an incubator for new concepts. Furthermore, co-productions are gaining increasing significance as they enable us to pull resources and share the financial burden of creating high-quality shows. This collaborative approach not only mitigates the risks associated with higher cost premium content production, but also encourages cross-border collaborations, diversifying content and increasing global reach." |
