Film UA: Mystical Tales format to be adapted on Azteca America

Azteca will invite local psychology and ESP experts as hosts and guests of the program. Production is planned for spring and summer this year. This is the third adaptation of the film abroad after local versions of Mystical Tales were done in Bulgaria and Russia. The format was developed by FILM.UA in 2010 and has been broadcast for six years in Ukraine by STB channel. Seven seasons of the project have seen the light; the program share amounts to 11 per cent in peak viewing periods for 18-54 (50+) audience; and the best episodes were viewed by 1.5 million spectators (4+, all Ukraine).

Each episode consists of two stories. All of them are based on real events and were simply reconstructed with the help of a film crew and talented non-professional actors. We tried not to make our own corrections to the stories (because you cannot just invent these things), attempting instead to retell them the way we heard those from real participants of the events described or from ESP experts who worked with them. We wanted to show these events the way specific people saw and experienced them. Therefore, the audience might at times consider our stories too scary, weird of funny. But this is the way our life is.
