Who We Are

In November 5th, 1973, several media studios around the newly-unified Riysa met together in the capital of Tel al-Riyah. There, after some negotiation, they merged into one giant company - us, the Kaftan Media Group. Since the foundation, KMG has steadily grown into one of the largest and most respected media companies in Riysa, with influences and works in most forms of entertainment - video games, animation, and live-action films.

Now, as we continue to grow into the future, we are also proud to announce a new feature - licensing and translation. We have been greenlighted to negotiate translation and import contracts in a variety of media from foreign nations, as well as negotiating foreign exports of our own productions. We have listed our releases and their information, and have listed all appropriate forms. Please note that instead of giving a rating, we give "censorship notes" - there is no ratings system in Riysa, partially due to the censorship system here, so its our way of letting others know of any questionable material.

Please note that everything in Riysa is produced in Arabic, so for most countries, some form of subbed or dubbed translation will be needed.

Best of wishes to you!

Summary: This animated show is known for its achievements - it was the first animated feature sponsored and awarded by the government, it still holds the record for the longest - running Riysian series (both live-action and animated), and remain one of the highest-rated Riysian works. The series tells the story of a T-62 crew during the Unification War (1970-1973) and the Maraya al-Bahr Pacification (1974), following their day-to-day struggle to survive in the midst of one of the most turbulent periods of Riysian history. It has been praised for its devotion to historical accuracy - with almost everything about the show being real except the characters, who are mildly based off of real-life people - and its interesting and complex characters. It is broadcasted regularly on Riysian television, particularly on October 7th - Unification Day.

Notes for Foreign Censorship: As a historical war series, there is a lot of graphic violence and blood. The level may or may not be acceptable depending on your nation's censorship laws.

In a world completely destroyed and changed by nuclear war, can fifteen year-old Ahmad and his nine year-old sister Yasmin survive? Is there even any one out there, and if so...would they be friendly, or not? The show is notable for primarily relying on psychological horror, instead of violence, and not including any mutated life.

A season 2 is currently in production, and will be licensed separately.

Notes for Foreign Censorship: Of course, the themes in this can be quite dark and unsuitable for young children. Some violence is shown, although not too much.

Genre: Comedy

Summary: Oh Fool! is a wacky comedic show, consisting of a series of different skits with seemingly little to no relevance on each other hashed together, to form a story per episode. The humor isn't hard to understand but isn't stupid either, and the subtle plot provides a minor Easter Egg to whoever can follow it.

Notes for Foreign Censorship: Slapstick comedy abounds in this show.

News

New Bid From NETV Makes Promising Start - 28/5/2014

On this day, May 28th, NETV Network Group completed a contract with Kaftan Media Group in a bid worth in total around 90 million Lira, licensing four animated and live action series and the movie Hero of the Republic for viewers across Neu Engollon and neighboring Astyrian countries in general. Although the bids were acknowledged to be somewhat lower-priced, baring the offer for Attention-Tank, Kaftan seemingly believes that it can more than make up the lost amount with royalties from the shows and movie thanks to the widespread viewership of the NETV networks.

Whether that will be the case or not is a good issue for the economists to predict, but it seems that Kaftan has started exporting on the right foot. It remains to be seen though how well Kaftan can compete internationally...

To: Jamal Sitri, CEO, Kaftan Media Group
From: Dieter Taumann, CEO, NETV Network Group
RE: Licensing of Multiple Products for Neu Engollian broadcast

Mr. Sitri,

I write to you in order to acquire some of your media products for the NETV family of networks. While we are government funded, we also tend to generate a good deal of our own ad revenue and are a thriving network that has worldwide appeal. We would like to broaden our appeal as well as the horizons of Confederacy citizens, and so we come to you.
Also, with the volume of programming we are ordering, we hope that our lower bids for some of your older produced programming might be acceptable.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Sincerely,

Dieter Taumann, CEO, NETV Network Group

Recipient: Dieter Taumann, CEO, NETV Network Group
Subject: Re: Licensing of Multiple Products for Neu Engollian broadcast

Mr. Taumann,

It is a pleasure to see your interest in Riysian media, and specifically our own productions. We understand that you have offered lower-end bids for non-exclusive licensing rights to our older productions, and will accept it - the recent economy has hit all of us, and we believe that a mutual association is in the best of both of our interests.

All of your orders have been accepted, for a total of $90.5 million in initial fees alone. We hope that your viewers enjoy it all!

With Well-wishes,

Jamal Sitri, CEO, Kaftan Media Group
