COVID AMERICA DOCUSERIES TO BE DISTRIBUTED GLOBALLY BY BOAT ROCKER STUDIOS

Documentary producers team up with international distributors to tell the true stories of how Americans are coping with the pandemic

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, USA, April 7, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Audio Drama Initiative, producer of compelling, highly rated audio drama episodic podcasts, announced today it has inked a deal with Boat Rocker Studios (a division of global entertainment company Boat Rocker Media) for the international TV distribution rights to their first two-part visual content documentary, Covid America.

Covid America is a compelling project that provides an in-depth look into how real people affected by COVID-19 are moving forward. Rather than relying on political spin or television magazine show sound bites, these stories take the viewer on a profound journey into the hearts and minds of Americans willing to share their narrative. Filmed on the road in eight states, across 3,500 miles, in two weeks, Covid America features individuals who have experienced the full spectrum of emotions: from grief to surprising moments of joy, the project ultimately honors the resilience of Americans. This boots on the ground documentary will supply inspiration to viewers during an ever changing and continually challenging time for the nation and the world.

“We are thrilled to be working with Boat Rocker Studios," says director and producer Mitchell Maxwell. "Covid America is an inspiring, true insight into what real people, speaking from the heart, have experienced this past year. As filmmakers, we learned first-hand that despite the woe, Americans filled with grit and resilience, have endured. As producers, we couldn’t have imagined a better partner than Boat Rocker in the endeavor to get Covid America out to the world."

“As soon as we heard about Covid America we knew it would be a great fit for our factual portfolio,” said Natalie Vinet, Vice President of Global Sales, Unscripted, Boat Rocker Studios. “This is an extremely relevant and timely documentary that deserves to be seen around the world.”
Boat Rocker expects the program will be picked up in numerous international markets and be ready for air by June 2021.
