Heading into Mipcom, French television executive Pascal Breton has partnered with a group of film and television producers and showrunners to launch Federation Entertainment.
Based in Paris with development and marketing offices in Los Angeles, Federation Entertainment will be led by head of worldwide distribution Jean-Michel Ciszewski.
One of its debut commissions is Netflix’s previously-announced first French original series Marseille, a political drama due to hit screens at the end of 2015.

And here comes another shocker: Did Tiki help her score a coveted NBC internship?
Talk about a dirty cover-up! Traci Johnson, 23, kept her affair with former-pro football player Tiki Barber, 35, a secret by telling her family she was babysitting his two young children — A.J., 7, and Chason, 6 — a neighbor tells New York’s Daily News. The cheaters were first spotted out together at Newark Airport in Dec. 2008, one year after Traci landed an internship with NBC, which her neighbor believes Tiki (also a Today Show correspondent) helped her to obtain.
During her time at NBC, a co-worker noticed that Traci and Tiki would often go out for lunch together, and the two were spotted having dinner together several times in New York. Tiki, a former New York Giants running back, left his 8-months-pregnant wife Ginny in 2009 after 11 years of marriage, when it was revealed he had been sleeping with Traci for several years.

The sound of drums can penetrate the soul and resonate deeper than any musical instrument if performed by a true master, which I think is why it is an art and a discipline older than any other musical pursuit. This concept lies at the core of The Drummer, a powerful new film from writer and director Kenneth Bi (Rice Rhapsody). This is a story of one young man named Sid whose love of the drums developed at an early age out of anger and frustration. Sid plays drums for a rock band, but his life mimics his music as he is drawn to mischief and chasing women. One night, Sid is caught fooling around with the youthful girlfriend of Stephen Ma (Kenneth Tsang), a powerful suited gangster. With his life in danger, Sid’s father (Tony Leung Ka Fai) also a small-time gangster, sends him away with his best man...
