Pernel Media has closed a series of co-production and presale deals for its feature-length science documentary The Rise of Birds: Dinosaurs Among Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Commissioned by France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions, the title is being co-produced by PBS’s NOVA and China’s CCTV-9. It has also been presold to Ushua\u00efa TV in France, Radio-Canada and Japan’s NHK Enterprises. ZDF Studios has the remaining world rights and is set to be in charge of global distribution.<\/p>\n

Several formats of the doc are being produced in six different languages.<\/p>\n

“Today\u2019s birds are dinosaurs,” said Steve Brusatte, American dinosaur expert. “They\u2019re every bit as much of a dinosaur as a T-Rex is!”<\/p>\n

The documentary is written by Eric Pincas and Thomas Cirotteau, directed by Cirotteau and produced by C\u00e9line Payot Lehmann and Samuel Kissous.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt NOVA, we love to tell the stories of scientific discovery that reveal the deep continuity of all life on Earth, as this film does so beautifully,\u201d said Chris Schmidt, co-executive producer at NOVA. \u201cHow lucky we are, every time we look at a bird, to be reminded that dinosaurs are still among us!\u201d<\/p>\n

Ralf R\u00fcckauer, VP Unscripted at ZDF Studios, added, \u201dWe are delighted to be working again with our long-standing partner Pernel Media. After three seasons of Ancient Superstructures<\/em> and ten episodes of Mega Building Collection<\/em>, with this new title, we are excited to soon have another exciting documentary from this highly talented team in our catalog.\u201d<\/p>\n

C\u00e9line Payot Lehmann, executive producer at Pernel Media, said, \u201cWho knew that pigeons and chickens descended from the same branch as the infamous T-Rex? Dinosaurs are not extinct, they are all around us. That\u2019s how relevant and universal this story is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
