FROM SOAP TO VERTICAL

Directed by Lime Pictures Co-Head of Scripted, Kids & Family Angelo Abela, Revenge Is a Dish brings together a creative team spanning continuing drama, digital storytelling and premium production, including producers Andonis Anthony, a producer, director and cinematographer whose work spans television and narrative film, and Julia Carstairs, a producer and social creative behind Lime’s pioneering digital work around Hollyoaks, including Hollyoaks Unwrapped. The series marks Lime Pictures’ first move into original vertical drama, drawing on the company’s decades of experience producing fast-paced continuing drama for younger audiences.

Abela said: “We have enjoyed the fascinating learnings from producing both films in this genre and are excited to see the audience response. Verticals cross skillset with soap as they require pacey storytelling, huge hooks and from the actors, the ability to shoot a high volume of high-drama scenes, with limited rehearsal time.” Continuing that “it was a natural progression for Lime to move into this genre, based on our history in continuing drama and ability to offer high production values and provide duty of care to actors and with L16 Studios for post-production.”

“RoseBerry is setting a new bar for vertical TV storytelling and behaviour. Revenge Is a Dish is exactly the kind of premium, addictive story for a new trend of vertical viewing: full of big characters, high stakes and a story that keeps pulling you into the story,” said Guy Hameiri, Co-Founder and CEO of RoseBerry Media. “We are proud to partner with Lime Pictures for this first Premium Vertical TV drama, building on their decades of experience creating compelling television, and bringing that storytelling expertise into a mobile-first format makes them an ideal creative partner as we continue building out our slate of Originals.”
