About
Talpa Content USA is the newest entity in the growing Talpa Media empire. The company opened its Los Angeles office in early 2007.Talpa Content USA is the brainchild of Dutch media entrepreneur John de Mol, the man behind such global hit series as "Big Brother", "Deal or No Deal" and "Fear Factor".
Talpa Content USA is eager to work with US-based television producers to develop new ideas for television and other media platforms.
On this site you will find information about Talpa, descriptions of some of its existing formats, and a submission form that gives aspiring showrunners a direct line to Talpa Content USA creative executives.
"Nowhere else in the world do you find so many people with creative ideas as in the United States", Mr. de Mol has said. "We are looking for phenomenal ideas that will make for addictive, gotta-see-it appointment television."
Once an idea is submitted, Talpa will examine its production feasibility and international distribution potential. TV formats that have built up a strong track record in Holland will then be sold on the international market and can eventually travel back to the US.
Individual creators will be involved throughout the process and will be compensated - something the company will ensure through the use of clear-cut legal agreements.
"Iīm certain that someone out there is sitting on the next great idea," adds Mr. de Mol. "Talpa Content USA gives that person the means to make their dreams a reality. We are ready to take risks to bring those ideas to life."
