    The Kitchen scouts for Indian distribution companies

    MUMBAI: The language services division of the Emmy Award Winning TM Systems, The Kitchen, is on the lookout for Indian distribution companies.

    The Kitchen is the developer of the industry’s only “end to end” language translation, dubbing and subtitling technology.

    “We are now working with a great many Hispanic producers of telenovelas, the multi episodic, larger than life, family oriented, dramatic, daily television shows that are now in demand in nearly every country in the world. It is very clear that there are many similiarities between the East Indian and Hispanic viewing audiences and their mutual need for more long form television programming of this kind. We have spoken to many of our current Hispanic content telenovela production clients and the wish to “sell” to the Indian marketplace is great. We’ve spoken to a number of Indian networks and the desire to obtain the Hispanic telenovela programming is immense,” said The Kitchen president and CEO Ken Lorber.

    “Thus, through our international language services, we are able to easily make the introductions, enhance the package, and provide all translation and dubbing for the projects,” he added.

    At the upcoming LA Screenings to be held between 18 to 26 May in Los Angeles, The Kitchen expects to close a number of deals between the Hispanic and Indian production firms.
