Dori Media Exhibits at the National Associates of Television Program Executives (NATPE) 2013:

Do You Know Me?! is a romantic reality show where 11 romantic couples (aged 18-75) live together in a villa and have to bet how well they know each other to win a substantial cash prize. Each couple has their own special relationship but they may find out that their spouse is capable of doing things the other would never think possible! How much are they willing to bet that they will or will not do something? Couples also have to contend with a variety of assignments, but success in these assignments does not ensure winning as the betting stakes also contribute. The season’s winning couple will be awarded the sum they have accumulated throughout the season, which could reach $1,000,000. Viewers will be gripped by how the pressure to compete affects each couple’s relationship and how the couples react to each other.

“GOT A MINUTE?” in this game show we take the studio to the street. A host and a digital suitcase pick participants and give them one minute to answer as many questions as possible. The well-known host randomly approaches participants on the street to ask if he or she has a minute. Questions will be displayed on a screen on a suitcase carried by the host. The game becomes interesting when participants do not know the answer to a question and can then ask for The Extra Minute (lifeline), where they have to do anything in their power to find the correct answer including asking passers-by for some help. When participants have 10 seconds left, or less, the host will let the participant know that they’ve reached the “last question zone”. This means that the next – and last – question will implicate a double or nothing prize.

“S.Y.P.D – Special Young Police Department” is a unique project. It is a teen sitcom produced by Dori Media Darset for HOT V.O.D. In a unique new project, the Police Department and the Ministry of Education decide to establish the first ever kids’ Police Station, inside Cedar High public school. The two police officers who are stationed at the school are officer Oded Burman and officer Avi Kapata. And the two of them are, how to say it gently, not exactly the brightest crayons in the pack. Time and again they attempt to solve students’ problems. While their skills are lacking, they do have plenty of charm. The biggest issue they have is their unconventional ways of resolving the students’ problems. Will the officers be able to justify the trust placed in them and prove that the kid’s police project is a success?

But there’s something that makes them different from everybody else – they are secretly members of a virtual band with extraordinary success, yet their identity must be kept a secret at all costs…. This daily teen drama defines what all teenagers dream of; such as the desire to be rock stars with tons of fans. The reality is rather different; they are normal adolescents with passions and problems like those of any others that they have to face without the help of fame. The series outperformed its timeslot shows by over 30% for kid groups aged 4-14 and 8-14.
