Why Pageant Docuseries ‘Mrs. America’ is Being Shopped as a Work in Progress at Tribeca: ‘We’re in a New World Order’
While docuseries are taking root at film festivals, “Mrs. America” might be the first to debut as a work-in-progress when it premieres at Tribeca.
The documentarian behind “Hail Satan?” and “Listening to Kenny G” was in the process of wrapping Episodes 1 and 2 in a four-chapter arc and figured that the festival was making early inquiries for Tribeca 2026. “We’re in a new world order when it comes to selling in the unscripted space, and I think this is an interesting experiment to see how it works — letting buyers into the process early,” says Anonymous Content’s Jessica Grimshaw, who is an executive producer. Alongside Grimshaw, executive producers include names familiar in Hollywood like Fremantle’s Mandy Chang and Anonymous Content’s Nick Shumaker and David Levine as well as a recognizable face in Whitney Sudler-Smith, star of Bravo’s “Southern Charm,” who served as the point of access to some of the participants who hail from the Sun Belt.
