Sandra, the Fairytale Detective has proven particularly popular in Asia, as it has done in other international markets. We’ll be attending ATF looking to expand our relationships in the region, not only with broadcasters, but with production and licensing companies in the region, as acquiring third party properties for representation in Europe and Latin America is a key focus for us.”
