“It’s exciting to be part of a group with such vision and reach and to be able to share that vision with the rest of the world,” she added.
To date United Media has filmed more than 30 original projects – from much-talked-about historical dramas such as “Alexander of Yugoslavia” and “Time of Evil” to comedies, crime series, and soaps.
