The Project

In January 2021, international television network NBC Universal approached London Filmed to help host their virtual press conference, launching the Universal+ and Dreamworks channel in Spain, after teaming with Movistar+. The event was hosted by Spanish presenter Cristina Teva, who, along with other speakers delivered the conference in part English and part Spanish to around 100 journalists. The exclusive event showcased an exciting array of pre-recorded programme snippets that are set to feature on the network, as well as a Q&A session with senior leadership from NBC, Dreamworks & Movistar+.
