Rabbit Signs Documentary Film Duo LOKI
"There's no doubt that LOKI is an original pair, putting out some of the most interesting work on the documentary scene today," notes Rabbit EP Douglas Howell. Currently LOKI is adapting the bestselling book “Freakonomics” for the big screen, and is in production on a film about the youth of Saudi Arabia for MTV. Their television work includes content for such broadcasters as CBS, A&E, PBS, VH1, Al Jazeera, Channel 4, and Canal Plus. Time magazine has named LOKI as innovators of the documentary craft. In 2007, the two received an Academy Award nomination for best documentary feature for “Jesus Camp,” a candid look at Pentecostal children in America. The film received a wide theatrical release and was broadcast in more than 60 countries. The duo also received an Emmy nomination for “The Boys of Baraka,” a film about struggling preteens in Baltimore that was distributed by Thinkfilm and broadcast on PBS' prestigious POV series. "Since starting LOKI in 2001, we've been able to build the studio into something larger than we ever would have imagined," says Grady. "But we wanted to take the next step and join with a company that had greater resources and a broad talent pool to share in, and Rabbit was the ideal choice.” LOKI joins a Rabbit directorial roster that includes Kevin Fitzgerald, + jacksonkarinja, Matt Ogens, Tim Abshire and Brent Harris, among others. |
