EnglishDori Media to present a range of new formats including comedies “Mila”, «His Wife» and «Mario», as well as docu-reality hit and social media phenomenon “It Girls”
Dori Media Group announces that it will present a broad library of new formats at Mipcom 2015, which will be held on October 5-8, 2015, in Cannes, France.
Nadiv Palti, President & CEO of Dori Media Group commented: “Dori Media is presenting a host of new formats at this year’s Mipcom including “Mila” and “It Girls”, and we are excited to be sharing our new content. The shows we are featuring at Mipcom demonstrate the diversity our catalogue as we present a broader range of popular and proven content to the market.”
“Mila”, the local German version of the “Ciega a Citas (Date Blind)” format, is among the shows to be presented by Dori Media at Mipcom 2015. The daily romantic comedy, produced by UFA for Prosibensat.1, tells the story of Mila, who is single by conviction and has been for years. Her own mother doubts that anybody could ever love her and bets that Mila can’t possibly show up to her little sister’s wedding, in 287 days’ time, with a real boyfriend. This harsh appraisal suddenly makes Mila admit that she also dreams of romantic love. The original “Ciega a Citas” has already enjoyed great international success, with the Spanish version of the format increasing its time slot’s rating on Mediaset España’s Cuatro channel by 40%. The show has also been sold to Poland, Russia and China.
The successful docu-reality format “It Girls” by Abot Hameiri will also be exhibited at Mipcom following the commissioning of a second series. “It Girls”, which has become a social media phenomenon on all digital platforms, follows the lives of four beautiful and enviable girls in their twenties, who share every detail of their lives on social media and join forces to build a fashion and lifestyle site to drive the hottest trends for Israel’s young people.
Other Dori Media formats to be presented at Mipcom 2015 include “His Wife”, about a husband’s boundless love for his wife that leads him to invest in a theatre business he has no real knowledge of and the brand new children’s format, “Doctor Libi». “Mario”, a scripted comedy format that tells the story of a young sorcerer who finds himself living with a modern, educated family that does not believe in magic, will also feature.

“Mila” – Romantic Comedy (250X30min)
Mila is single by conviction and has been for years.

Her own mother doubts that anybody could ever love her and bets that Mila can’t possibly show up to her little sister’s wedding, in 287 days, with a real boyfriend. This harsh appraisal suddenly makes Mila admit that she also dreams of romantic love. But how can she find a real Prince Charming? Can you find authenticity when everyone only expresses themselves on Facebook? Mila must find an answer to these questions before she reaches her goal and her dreams come true – with, of all people, the man who’s been in front of her all along…

Charming Mario, who’s also an excellent cook and cleaner, moves in with the family, and changes its life for good and for bad. He brings a lot of warmth and excitement to the home, but his magic mess-ups and his wrong interpretation of the modern world complicate things time and time again.
