In October of 2021, Amazon Studios announced it was acquiring Trevor Beck Frost and Melissa Lesh’s “Wildcat” for a price nearing 20 million, a staggering sum for a doc of its kind. Produced by 30West, the film tells the story of former British soldier Harry Turner and conservationist Samantha Wicker, who help heal each other while caring for a small ocelot wildcat in the deep Peruvian rainforest.

This is Frost and Lesh’s first feature film. Frost comes from a still photography background, with work published in National Geographic and the New York Times, while Lesh has previously worked with short films. The documentary has picked up considerable steam on the brink of awards season, having recently been nominated for two IDA Documentary Awards for editing and score (Patrick Jonsson).

Amazon has already launched the film’s FYC page, which includes several categories including best documentary film, directing and original song...

IDFA is going wild for Wildcat.

The documentary from Amazon Studios screened a couple of times over the weekend at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, to resounding effect, filmmakers Melissa Lesh and Trevor Frost tell Deadline. Screenings on Friday and Sunday took place at the Pathé Tuschinski Theatre, a glorious old movie palace that rivals Mann’s Chinese in splendor.

“To have two standing ovations in a theater like that,” Lesh commented at a party after Sunday’s event, “on the biggest screen we’ve screened on yet, and to have the audience so engaged and moved, I feel like it’s been our best screenings yet.”

Frost added, “When we were standing in the lobby as people were going into the movie theater, I just couldn’t believe how many people were around me. They said they had well over 450 people in the theater...

A is for Acquisition! Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment’s company Screen Media has acquired the North American rights to HBO’s Street Gang: How We Got To Sesame Street ahead of its world premiere at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. Screen Media is set to release the docu in theaters and into the home entertainment market in Spring 2021. The HBO Documentary Film will debut on HBO and HBO Max later in the year.

Inspired by Michael Davis’ New York Times best-selling book and directed by Marilyn Agrelo (Mad Hot Ballroom), the documentary chronicles the improbable origins and expansion of the groundbreaking show that not only changed children’s television programming, but had real-world effects on equality, education, and representation worldwide.

In Street Gang: How We Got To Sesame Street, we are re-introduced to the visionary “gang” of mission-driven artists, writers, and educators that audaciously interpreted radical changes in society...

A documentary about the beloved children’s show “Sesame Street” is coming to HBO Documentary Films called “Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street,” and the film will debut in 2021.

The documentary film is directed by Marilyn Agrelo and follows the work of Muppets creator Jim Henson along with some of the other pivotal voices who helped bring “Sesame Street” to the air in the 1960s and made it a household name for generations.

“Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street” is specifically inspired by the civil rights movement and focuses on the first two experimental and groundbreaking decades of “Sesame Street,” highlighting this visionary “gang” that audaciously interpreted radical changes in society and engaged children in ways that entertained and educated them like never before.

People like media executive Joan Ganz Cooney and Sesame Workshop co-founder Lloyd Morrisett wanted to use television as an educational and impactful...

Gareth Emery‘s third studio album, 100 Reasons To Live, wouldn’t ordinarily be that deserving of criticism. Nobody would argue that it’s a collection of songs that challenge the electronic music status quo, but nothing in the album is a flat-out assault on the senses, either.

Nonetheless, Emery orchestrated a stunt that dug himself into a hole before the album even came out. The trance superstar recently teamed up with fellow Englishman Ashley Wallbridge for a farcical side project called CVNT5, setting out to make a mockery of Edm excess through track releases, videos and web content.

As entertaining as it was, the CVNT5 project implied that Emery’s own music has more integrity than the mainstream dance music he attempted to parody – but if he feels qualified to make such commentary, he should be prepared to hear that what he’s delivered in the form of 100 Reasons To Live is itself,...

First conceived all the way back in 2001, Armin Van Buuren’s A State of Trance has become a staple in the lives of electronic music fans the world over. The weekly radio show draws in roughly 20 million listeners from around the world, as people everywhere flock to hear what new songs the trance god himself has chosen for the latest episode.

A State of Trance is much more than just a radio show though, as every year it also becomes a live show, with a jaw-dropping lineup of artists, superb production and, of course, top-notch tunes. The most recent outing for the event, A State of Trance 750, hit Toronto’s Enercare Centre over the weekend for what was, as expected, another unforgettable night brought to us by Mr. Van Buuren.

Braving the cold weather, the city’s dance music fans flocked to the show to witness a spectacle of trance...

Trance legend Gareth Emery has been quiet on the release front lately, but given that he’s got a new album in the works, we’re about to start hearing a lot more from the British producer. While details on a release date and what exactly we’ll be getting are scarce, we do know that it will drop this year and now, we have a taste of what to expect.

Earlier this week, Emery released “Until We Meet Again,” a collaboration from the album that features Ben Gold. This is hardly the first time the two have worked together, and as is always the case when they join forces, the results are impressive.

“Until We Meet Again” fits comfortably into the uplifting trance category, with classic Emery melodies and a big room energy to get the crowd going. While it’s not quite as progressive as what we heard on Drive,...

It’s a big day for Armin Van Buuren fans today, as the trance legend has two big announcements for us.

According to the official press release, every 5,000 uses of the hashtag will unlock a new clue, so start Tweeting!

In the second piece of Armin news, the producer has announced that pre-orders are now available for the highly anticipated A State of Trance Year Mix, which will drop on December 18th. Boasting some of trance music’s heaviest hitters, like Cosmic Gate, Andrew Rayel, Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz and more, the release is sure to be a big one,...
