Netflix airs first Welsh language drama
"There's an appetite for more drama, and I think we offer something unique through our productions," she said."It possibly means more co-productions with the big streamers. That means bigger budgets for us."Welsh productions are at the "edge of a golden era" according to film critic Lowri CookRoberts also wrote the TV script and co-produced the drama with Llyr Morus.
"Some of the most exciting elements are the Welsh genre productions we see in our cinemas. That is, drama, horror and thriller productions in our own language. That's mind blowing."Nearly a decade ago the English version of the detective thriller Y Gwyll/Hinterland was sold internationally, with a number of bilingual series since following the same pattern.
"At the moment, we have the same model as we had with Y Gwyll, filming back-to-back," he said, adding an English version could been needed to secure funding.Welsh director Ed Thomas says series need to be done bilingually to get funding "That's what we have to target is to ensure, that if we're on Netflix or Apple or Amazon Prime or whatever it is, that they also follow it up with real investment in the Welsh language."
