Turkey’s Inter Medya and MENA entertainment outfit Rise Studios have entered a co-production alliance.
The collaboration kicks off with the Turkish drama Caged Love (Tutsak Sevda), which is set to begin production in January 2026. Inter Medya will serve as executive producer and oversee global distribution.
“Our shared vision and commitment to creating content with true global reach give us full confidence that this collaboration will produce a high-caliber project,” said Can Okan, founder and CEO of Inter Medya. “This co-investment marks an important step in strengthening our joint capacity to develop premium, globally competitive productions.”
“We are proud to join forces with a partner that shares our ambition for bold, cross-border content,” stated Amanda Turnbull, founder and CEO of Rise Studios. “This partnership reflects Rise Studios’ commitment to investing in stories with global resonance that are grounded in emotion and designed to travel. Caged Love is the first step in what we believe will be a powerful and long-term collaboration.”
Rise Studios was launched by Turnbull in 2022 and has since rolled out a slate of feature films, docs and series from across the MENA region.
