Paramount Acquires ‘Freediver’ Documentary (EXCLUSIVE)


Paramount has acquired the rights for the documentary feature "Freediver," which follows Alexey Molchanov during his historic 2023 competitive run.

The film is directed, written and produced by Michael John Warren (“Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza,” “Spring Awakening: Those You’ve Known”) and is a production from Skydance Sports, Picturestart, GQ Studios and Boardwalk Pictures. After geopolitics forced him into exile, Molchanov spent 2023 on a journey to reclaim his athletic glory and honor his iconic mother’s towering legacy by attempting the most dominant season in the history of the deadly sport. Warren serves as a producer alongside Erik Feig and Samie Kim Falvey for Picturestart; David Ellison, Jesse Sisgold, and Jon Weinbach for Skydance Sports; Andrew Fried, Dane Lillegard, and Jordan Wynn for Boardwalk Pictures; Helen Estabrook, Sarah Amos, and Lexy Altman for GQ Studios, along with Katherine Dunn, Nan Sandle and Talin Middleton.
