In New York, the series "Ten percent" awarded at the International Emmy Awards

Season 4 of the French series "Ten percent" was awarded Monday evening at the International Emmy Awards, an American consecration for this humorous story about the agencies of movie stars and which benefited from the enormous springboard Netflix.

The series, launched in 2015 on France Television on an idea of the former agent Dominique Besnehard, and which triumphs today on the American platform Netflix, won the prize for best comedy by the Academy of the International Emmy Awards which rewards for half a century the best television productions outside the United States. The authors and producers of "Ten percent", renamed "Call my Agent" in the United States, were in New York for the occasion and the scriptwriter of the first three seasons Fanny Herrero praised the fact that the series had "really traveled around the world thanks to Netflix, so it's a great accomplishment". In an interview Monday morning with AFP, Mr. Besnehard saw in it the success of "the French touch" in the United States, in the filiation of French cinema from "François Truffaut or Michel Deville" who successfully showed Americans " a tragicomic, funny France".
