Movistar’s fledgling distributor has struck its first slew of sales and is moving to the next stage, GM Maria Valenzuela has revealed, as she discusses the Spanish giant’s attempt to reinvent the thriller genre and how the writers strike is gifting opportunities to spotlight international content.

Valenzuela took charge of Spain’s largest pay-TV/SVoD operator’s distributor Movistar Plus Internacional last year and the former Sony and Huawei exec said it has “been an incredible journey” so far.

The outfit is shopping the likes of Rapa Seasons 1 and 2 and Off World (Apagón), which have sold to Vix+ in the U.S. and LatAm, and is in the process of taking a bunch of new shows to market, which Valenzuela described as the “next step and the big challenge of the coming year” as she chatted to Deadline before a NEM keynote at the Dubrovnik market on Tuesday. “Partners want to have a direct relationship with Movistar,” she said. “We were so encouraged by the response from around the world [to the distribution arm] and it is so valuable this knowledge we are bringing by having our partners closer.

We do not own a platform outside Spain and that makes us a standalone producer-distributor to be aligned with.” Co-production and collaboration opportunities will naturally improve as the distribution arm becomes more settled, added Valenzuela.
