MediaHub Announces Global Distribution Partnership with Gauchos del Mar of Azulay Brothers
This agreement expands MediaHub’s documentary offerings with acclaimed titles from Argentinean filmmakers Julian and Joaquin Azulay, including their namesake film, Gauchos del Mar, and other titles such as African Territory, and Transcending Waves.MediaHub is pleased to announce a new distribution agreement with esteemed production house Gauchos del Mar to bring the company’s premium documentary selection to audiences around the world. This agreement expands MediaHub’s documentary offerings with acclaimed titles from Argentinean filmmakers Julian and Joaquin Azulay, including their namesake film, Gauchos del Mar, and other titles such as African Territory, and Transcending Waves.
Since their first film in 2012, the Azulay brothers have received more than fifty international awards at film festivals, and earned a reputation for cinematic storytelling that explores cultural and environmental themes through epic journeys across continents. Their work highlights remote communities and conservation efforts in places ranging from Patagonia to Antarctica with their own unique personal approach.
Driven by their family passion for surfing and exploration, Azulay Brothers have been traveling and making their films since 2010, when they embarked on a cross continental adventure through the Americas. In the 15 years they’ve been on the move, their 7 expeditions covering 7 continents have resulted in 8 documentary films, 5 series and 64 awards, inspiring people and raising awareness to critical issues.
While MediaHub has built a strong reputation with scripted titles such as Alaca which recently topped charts in Ecuador, its documentary slate has been just as important in driving the company’s growth. Previous documentary slate licensings to major European players such as AMC Networks and RTL Media Group, have paved the way in non-scripted markets and secured the company multi territory deals in the docuseries space. By balancing compelling drama with thought provoking documentaries, MediaHub continues to broaden its offerings and engage audiences.
'A diverse portfolio has always been a key component of our strategy. In today’s landscape, documentary storytelling plays a more important role than ever; engaging global audiences, sparking awareness, and delivering purpose driven narratives. We’re proud to represent this unique collection of titles and look forward to contributing to their expansion' said Oğuzhan Ertek, Commercial Director at MediaHub. Julian Azulay, co-founder of Gauchos del Mar, also commented on the deal, ‘We are thrilled to start with this new alliance and looking forward to exploring new markets together'.
