UK-based documentary and factual entertainment distributor Espresso Media International have closed
two sales to broadcasters Warner Bros. Discovery Japan and Tokyovision.

In a new partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Japan, Espresso has licensed six hours of space content.
The package includes the recent release A Message to the Stars (1 x 52’) from production company Somadrome.
With the discovery of thousands of exoplanets meaning the hope of finding extra-terrestrial life is higher than
ever, the documentary explores attempts to communicate with the unknown. Also licensed are the cutting-
edge mini-series Space Colonies (3 x 52’) and Life in Outer Space (2 x 52’).

Meanwhile, to Tokyovision, Espresso has licensed environmental documentary Pave the Road (1 x 52’).
Shot over a decade, Pave the Road follows a mother and filmmaker’s mission to write environmental
legislation that reduces fossil fuel consumption and provide a closed-loop solution for single-use plastic
pollution. The programme will air on the 30th May on NTV’s ‘World Great TV.’ Pave the Road was produced
by Kelly Mason, and Executive Produced by Richard J. Lewis, known for his work on Westworld.

“We are delighted to have secured further deals in Japan – one of our key markets where we’re continuing to
expand our reach,” states Jessica Reilly, Espresso’s Head of Sales and Acquisitions. “Tokyovision are a long-
standing client and we’re thrilled that a film as ground-breaking and important as Pave the Road will be
airing on World Great TV. We have a long-established partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery worldwide
and are thrilled to have completed our first deal with Warner Bros. Discovery Japan with a powerful package
of cutting-edge Science content from our best-selling space producers, Somadrome.”
