Q A
With Call My Agent! - Season 4 Executive Producer Harold Valentin
QWhere are you going to keep your Emmy®? The statues will be resting in our offices, Paris 7th on beautiful avenue de Breteuil for Mon
Voisin Productions and in le Marais for Mother production.
They will stay here for us to remember to keep faith in preserving the soul of our projects, albeit all the ups and downs on the road.
Q Tell us about the importance of winning an Emmy®?
First it was a huge moment of joy, to share with our writers – Victor Rodenbach, head of season 4, Fanny Herrero, the creator and Nicolas Mercier. We felt so happy that our dramedy show could travel so far and the International Emmy® Award came as the perfect spotlight to help it go farther. And we were very grateful to our competitors who were so wonderfully nice with us about Call my Agent before - and after! - the ceremony, which made the whole evening a perfect moment.
Q What upcoming projects are you or would you like to be working on next?
First we are working together on a 90’ special of Call my Agent to be shot next year. Then, among others, Mon Voisin Productions is developing a show on French Cabarets today, with Marc Fitoussi, that is called Ça c’est Paris! Mother production is working on a show for Netflix and the adaptation of a wonderful French book about the difficult melting of culture between France and Morocco.
