Blue Ant Takes on Red Bull Studios Content

Blue Ant Studios has acquired the exclusive worldwide distribution rights to a selection of series and films from Red Bull Studios.

The acquisition includes the two-hour documentary The Dawn Wall, produced by Sender Films. It spotlights rock climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson in their effort to climb the Dawn Wall, a seemingly impossible 3,000-foot rock face in Yosemite National Park.

The 8×1-hour Compton Magic, produced by Lightbox, follows the Amateur Athletic Union basketball team Compton Magic as they prepare to compete in a series of games that will make or break the futures and careers of these young ballers.

Produced by Red Bull Media House, the hour-long Anna Gasser: The Spark Within chronicles the journey of the eponymous pioneering female snowboarder and freestyle athlete.

Further titles included in the deal are Riders on the Storm (Blackbeard), La Liste: Everything or Nothing (Sherpas Cinema), The Longest Wave (Radical Media), Born to Fly (Robi Creative, BCII Production, Backflip Media), The Real Mo Farah (Atomized Studios) and The Moment: How Sports Changed the World (1895 Films).

“Red Bull Studios is a leader in producing innovative, high-quality documentaries that inspire, and we’re excited to build on this partnership as we continue to grow our network of strategic acquisitions,” said Lilla Hurst, global head of acquisitions and content strategy at Blue Ant Studios. “We are thrilled to expand our offering with Red Bull Studios’ exceptional content. Their unparalleled ability to tell compelling, high-stakes stories in sports and adventure aligns perfectly with our vision of offering premium, impactful programming to audiences worldwide.”
