The project, also produced by Yeşil Yapım, will be internationally distributed by Inter Medya.
Turkish drama Love and Pride, co-produced by Turkey’s Inter Medya and Chile’s MGE, has commenced filming, marking the first co-production from this alliance.
Directed by Murat Şenoy, the narrative unfolds within the Köksoylar family, navigating a web of love triangles and internal conflicts. As the family faces imminent financial ruin, Tolga emerges as their potential saviour. However, unbeknownst to them, Tolga is grappling with his own financial troubles and harbours the hope of marrying one of the Köksoylar daughters to resolve his monetary woes.
Inter Medya will spearhead the international distribution of the series, a collaborative effort between MGE, Inter Medya, and Yeşil Yapım.
