Film distribution was the initial focus as the company built up a library of some 250 feature films which it continues to distribute worldwide for broadcast, home video and DVD. Major clients have included the BBC, Canal Plus, Hallmark Entertainment, NHK/Japan, and most of the major public broadcasting companies in Europe.
In 1996 the company opened a New York office with the aim of producing and distributing television and video programming in the U.S. By 1999 the company had successfully repackaged a 9-part Dutch series, "Familiar and Yet So Strange," for WNET/Thirteen which was then seen nationwide on PBS, produced a critically acclaimed documentary for the Arts and Entertainment Network, "Anne Frank: The Missing Chapter," and completed a one-hour documentary for NATURE on PBS called, "Serengeti Stories," a profile of the legendary wildlife filmmaker Hugo van Lawick.
In 1999 TV Matters conceived and produced a PBS "pledge" special, The Irish Tenors, which became an overnight success raising millions of dollars in contributory income and launching both TV Matters and three very talented Irish singers on a trajectory of recording, touring and subsequent public television projects. Co-produced with Radius Productions and producer Bill Hughes in Dublin, The Irish Tenors catalogue now includes three television specials, four albums, three home video products and a DVD. The first television special was recorded in the main hall of Dublin's Royal Dublin Society, the second in the Waterfront Concert Hall in Belfast, and the last production in the Registry Hall of New York's Ellis Island Museum, a program hosted by actor Martin Sheen.
TV Matters' latest public television project, FURY, a flamenco dance spectacular was broadcast during March 2002 and an expanded version of the show is being produced with director/choreographer Anthony Van Laast ("Mama Mia," "Bombay Dreams") which is expected to begin touring worldwide in 2004.
CANTORS: A FAITH IN SONG is the first production of TV Matters in its home territory.
