Our team is one of the best in the industry working with archive footage and preparing some of the best documentary series currently being produced in the market. The international nature of CIC Media has also made us versatile and creative in the cross-pollination of ideas and processes across our global operation, opening up countless possibilities. Our team is responsible for the more than 40 initiatives in our catalogue, including digital, fiction, entertainment formats and documentary series, ready to hit the market.
