Digital startup Snips — which mines TV and film libraries to turn existing content into short-form, vertical (or “microseries”) fare — has sealed new deals with Banijay Rights and BIG Media to adapt some of their series and movies into minute-long episodes.

Banijay Rights is the global distribution arm of Banijay Entertainment (“Big Brother,” “MasterChef”), while BIG Media is an unscripted producer (“Inside the CIA: Secrets & Spies,” “Truthseekers”).
