MIPTV Spotlight: Boat Rocker Studios

Created by and starring Mark Little and Andy Bush, comedy series Cavendish leads Boat Rocker Studios’ crop of MIPTV offerings this year.

The series mines for laughs a situation in which two brothers with opposite personalities return home to care for their father and fall into the patterns of their youth. Mary’s Kitchen Crush, a culinary program from Boat Rocker Studios’ catalog, sees MasterChef Canada alum Mary Berg share her inspired twists on classic recipes. “Mary’s Kitchen Crush introduces Mary Berg to the international TV community for the first time,” says Jon Rutherford, the company’s managing director and president of rights.

Kingdom Force, a CG animated preschool series, is centered on a five-animal team of heroes that protects their respective animal kingdoms with rescue robot Alpha Mech’s help. “These three titles are great examples of the wide range of programming across multiple genres produced by the content teams within Boat Rocker Studios,” says Rutherford.
