Edipim

Article summary

Edipim was a television production company located in Abrunheira, Sintra. It was an independent production company that produced the most varied types of television formats. The company was founded on October 1, 1978, but it already existed before, as António Sala's debut as a television presenter took place in 1972 with the program "Música Maestro", which was Edipim's first production. The company's two main creators were Thilo Krasmann and Vitor Mamede, who would also be the main producers of its television productions. The two formed PIM (Produtores Independentes de Música, Independent Music Producers) because of the recordings they made together. When they made the company official, they were unable to use the intended name, so they decided to use the name Edipim. It was Edipim that created the first Portuguese soap opera, Vila Faia, opening the studios in Abrunheira, Sintra. The invitation came after the production of the program Eu Show Nico in 1980 where there was a fictional telenovela called Moita Carrasco. From playing they went on to a serious telenovela where Nicolau Breyner and the accomplished Nuno Teixeira continued. Its second production was the series 'Gente Fina é Outra Coisa' and then the second Portuguese telenovela, Origens. In 1987, it produced the programs Eu Show Nico and Lá Em Casa Tudo Bem.…
