Ben Croll Oble has picked up international distribution rights for “The Ridge,” a six-part psychological thriller the Paris-based studio and distributor will co-produce with New Zealand’s Great Southern Television (“One Lane Bridge”).
The project will be presented at this week’s MIA co-production and drama pitch forum. Created by BAFTA Scotland winner David Murdoch and acclaimed novelist Nora Chassler, co-written by Alan Campbell and Jess Sayer and commissioned by Sky Originals New Zealand and BBC Scotland, “The Ridge” follows a troubled young Scot from Glasgow to rural New Zealand, where she soon becomes enmeshed in a far-reaching plot.
Fleeing addiction and leaving behind a professional life in tatters, the young Mia accepts a wedding invitation from her estranged sister – only to find the would-be-bride dead upon arrival.
