IN10 Media showcased an exclusive first look of DocuBay -
its new, global, subscription-based streaming service and VOD platform
featuring premium international documentaries at MIPDOC to a select
international community of documentary creators and distributors.
Along with
this early preview for MIPDOC (April 6-7) and MIPTV (April 8-11) attendees, DocuBay also
partnered with MIPDOC to present The Pitch, a blitz kreig documentary pitching
session that acknowledges the most promising documentaries in the making for
the year. Amongst, if not the most anticipated documentary event in the
documentary fraternity, the judges for the pitches included Chris Hoelzl from
Smithsonian Channel, Axel Arno from SVT, Bernadette McDaid from National
Geographic and Akul Tripathi, COO, DocuBay.
Congratulating
Fairouz El-Baz; winner of the pitch for the Science and Technology category,
and Zed Films; winner of the pitch for the Current Affairs & Investigation
category, Akul Tripathi (COO, DocuBay) stated, “We are thrilled to introduce DocuBay to the global
content community attending MIP, and to share our great passion for documentary
films with audiences around the world. Humankind, as a race, has always had the
uncontrollable desire to tell their tale. To save it for posterity. Etched in
stone, sketched on rock, sung through the ages, engraved, embossed, stitched,
typed, recorded, photographed and now filmed – documentaries are just the
latest in a long series of the preferred repository of human experience. These
cumulative/many experiences unite us as One Tribe, which is at the core of
DocuBay philosophy.”
DocuBay will
be available in India with a distinctive global catalogue for Indian audiences,
and several titles exclusive to the country. The global consumer premiere is
scheduled for the summer of 2019 and will include India in it’s first phase.
Making
discovery easy through affinity-based categories like Nature, Action, Travel,
Culture, and Science, DocuBay intends to further refine its ‘bays’ by analyzing
watch habits and consumer surveys of the early adopters to DocuBay.
Reiterating
DocuBay’s commitment to the importance of discovery in the future of the
digital content marketplace, Aditya Pittie (Managing Director, IN10 Media) stated, “IN10 Media’s goal has always
been to deliver excellent content across genres and platforms, and we are proud
to add DocuBay to our stellar class of brands. With consumers worldwide having
more content choices than ever, DocuBay’s constantly expanding library of
international documentary films will create its own niche through its focus on
discovery and distribution. We are delighted to share this first look at MIP.”
DocuBay will
continue it’s exclusive first look at MIP TV from April 8 - April 11.
