MIPCOM Spotlight: Boat Rocker Studios

A missing-persons case that has baffled investigators for 20 years is at the center of Hell in the Heartland: What Happened to Ashley and Lauria?, a four-part series from Boat Rocker Studios.

“With its gripping subject matter, Hell in the Heartland is a strong new addition to the already popular true-crime genre,” says Jon Rutherford, managing director and president of rights. “Not only is this an important true story to tell to honor the lives of the victims of this crime, but the making of the series has unearthed new suspects, meaning a resolution may finally be imminent.”

Meanwhile, Mary’s Kitchen Crush is a culinary show led by the winner of MasterChef Canada season three. Love Monster is an animated preschool series that showcases the importance of kindness, empathy, connection and instinct.

Rutherford adds, “A great example of Boat Rocker’s wide range of programming across multiple genres, all of these titles show enormous global appeal.”
