For Immediate Release Base Productions Ties the Knot with Divorce Hotel to Develop Television Serie
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BASE PRODUCTIONS TIES THE KNOT WITH DIVORCE HOTEL TO DEVELOP TELEVISION SERIES Award‐Winning Television Production Company Secures Worldwide Rights at MIPCOM to Produce Show for Domestic, International Markets Cannes, France – October 6, 2011 – Ten‐time Emmy Award winning television production company BASE Productions secured the rights to develop and produce television series and other properties based on the Divorce Hotel concept with Dutch entrepreneur and Divorce Hotel CEO Jim Halfens. In response to the fact that more than 50% of marriages worldwide end in divorce ‐ and that most divorces drag on for months or even years of bitterness and legal fees ‐ Jim Halfens launched the company to change the game of getting un‐hitched. The television series will profile couples as they check into their five‐star accommodations as a married couple and check out as divorcees, all in a single weekend. BASE Productions is shaping the format and series for domestic and international markets. "Couples in our hotels realize that a positive approach is the beginning of a new chapter in their lives," said Jim Halfens, CEO of Divorce Hotel. "Our experts help divorcees avoid years of costs and misery and focus on the future. We enable them to get on with their lives literally overnight." Launched on Valentine’s Day in 2011, the concept behind the Divorce Hotel is unique, a kind of “Splitz‐Carlton,” streamlining the divorce process for couples in a comfortable and neutral setting. However, not just any couple can sign up to begin the process. The Divorce Hotel vets its candidates through an intensive interview process to ensure the greatest chance of success.
