The Paris and LA-based indie distributor told TBIvision that it has cut new deals for 52x26mins Hollywood’s Best Film Directors, which profiles Tinseltown’s most famous movie makers, to arts and culture channel Ovation in the US.

Mark Cuban’s HD Net has picked Canadian rights to the series and Australian public broadcaster SBS has acquired it for its arts and entertainment channel STVDIO.
