From ‘The Real Mo Farah’ to ‘The Dawn Wall,’ Blue Ant Studios Adds Standout Red Bull Studios Titles
The acquisition deal comes in the run-up to a Blue Ant Studios showcase at this week’s London TV Screenings.
Primarily doc features ranging over 60-120 minutes, plus docuseries “Compton Magic” from Lightbox, the Red Bull titles amp up Blue Ant’s offer of top-tier sports and adventure documentaries joining its library of over 7,500 hours of programming. Among standouts are “Anna Gasser: The Spark Within” (2021), a portrait of what drives the two-time Big air Olympic gold medalist, a gymnast turned skateboarder who took sport to a new technical level, pioneering the triple cork; and “The Dawn Wall” (2017), the record of a milestone in big wall free climbing, when in 2015 Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson ascended the towering buttress of El Capitan in Yosemite. Their unparalleled ability to tell compelling, high-stakes stories in sports and adventure aligns perfectly with our vision of offering premium, impactful programming to audiences worldwide,” said Lilla Hurst, global head of acquisitions and content strategy, Blue Ant Studios, who brokered the deal.
