International Production Since Prime Cut specializes in shooting overseas for American audiences it’s only natural that the circle of production is a 2 way street. European broadcasters and foreign networks and producers count on Prime Cut to guide them through the international production labyrinth, starting in 1988, when Prime Cut produced a 4 city live satellite uplink covering the U.S. election coverage in the U.S. for French television. Four “live” sets all downlinking to Washington D.C. and uplinking live to France was a great success. “Ushuaia” now seen in English on CNBC was one of France’s most popular programs ever seen on number one French station TF1. In the tradition of another famous Frenchman, Jacques Cousteau, host Nicolas Hulot, a handsome adventurer, soared through the air and explored the depths of the seas all the while touting the beauty and ecological fragility of the world we live in. Prime Cut produced segments for “Ushuaia”, but was also instrumental in working with Nicolas in creating the pilot that launched the series into the U.S. market. “Stuntmasters” was a co-production between Canal Plus and GRB Productions seen on the Discovery Channel. Prime Cut acted as production liaison in France during production of the whole series. Famous stunt ­meister Remy Julian (known for his James Bond stunts) and his team pulled off the world’s most outrageous stunts and Prime Cut made sure international audiences got a front row seat.
