Fun fact: “Emily in Paris,” which films all across the city of Paris and throughout France, was originally slated to film in New York. The idea was to shoot the majority of the Netflix series in the U.S. and head to France for a few weeks to film exteriors of iconic locations. Upon discovering showrunner Darren Starr’s plans, director and executive producer Andy Fleming exclaimed, “This is crazy, you have to shoot [in Paris].”
Referencing the charmingly worn doors in Parisian apartments that would be difficult to recreate in the States, Fleming talked about how he pushed for production to cross the ocean. “I thought, if the writers go over there, they will get in a taxicab going the wrong way around the Louvre, and they will be embarrassed in a restaurant and they will do all of the things that Emily would do, and [that] will inform the writing,” said Fleming.

Bernard Chevry, founder of the Mip TV and Mipcom television market, has died aged 96.
Chevry, an instrumental figure in the world of international television, died last week. He launched MipTV in 1963, ostensibly to help his friend Bruno Coquatrix sell tapes of his live concerts from the Olympia music hall, before launching sister event Mipcom in 1985 as well as music industry market Midem in 1963.
He ran the Midem Organisation until 1988, when it was sold Tvs Television, which subsequently sold it to Reed in 1989.
The first couple of events – then known as the Marché International des Programmes de Télévision – were held in Lyon with little attendance before Chevry moved it to Cannes, where the international film festival was held. He also made the wise decision to fund journalists’ accommodation leading to great press.
Given that VHS didn’t exist until the 1970s, Chevry organized for an Ob truck from French television to play out two-inch broadcast tapes,...
