Exodus Film Group to Rep New Phil Keoghan Reality Series

LOS ANGELES: Exodus Film Group has snapped up the North American rights to the forthcoming reality show based on the Velux 5 Oceans race, to be co-produced and hosted by Phil Keoghan of The Amazing Race. 

The series follows brave skippers from all over the world who risk their lives by sailing alone for 30,000 miles around the globe on Eco 60 racing yachts. The competitors will be video recording the action at sea. Additional footage will be captured at the start, finish and in port. ALL3MEDIA will provide audio and video support. 

The Velux 5 Oceans race stars from La Rochelle in France on October 17 and heads to South Africa, New Zealand, Brazil and Charleston in the U.S. before returning back across the Atlantic to France. 

“I am extremely excited about this project and having Phil Keoghan signed on as a partner to share this human drama with the U.S. audience,” said John Eraklis, the CEO of Exodus Film Group. “Phil’s adventurous spirit and experience as an entertainer will help capture the true personalities of these adventure athletes on and off the water and the challenges they face in circling the planet globe alone.”

“Extreme adventure sports have been captured many times, but what makes this race so unique is the world’s best sailors will take on the unforgiving oceans alone,” commented Keoghan. “This is a fantastic opportunity to share a physical and mental challenge that will test competitors beyond what seems humanly possible and at the same time highlight the planet’s awe inspiring oceans.”
