EcoManiacal Productions has signed an exclusive deal with Target Entertainment for the rights to the international sale and distribution of two of EcoManiacal's premiere projects, ULTIMATE GREEN MACHINES and FINDING GREEN. The announcement was made today by EcoManiacal's President and Founder, Rick Underhill. "Our goal was to align our product and our message with someone strong internationally and Target is the best in the business. The vibe is right," said Underhill.
From a Maseriati Quattroporte to a '57 Chevy pick-up, all the way to a Cigarette style speedboat, ULTIMATE GREEN MACHINES will show that any vehicle can still run as fast, if not faster than their stock counterparts, while being green inside and out. For the series, Underhill has assembled a dream team of "off-the-grid", defiant-minded mechanics and fabricators. This team not only thinks outside the box, they are ready to tear it up on the open road and do it green.
FINDING GREEN is equally intense, following Underhill's journey from a man with a burning passion to a man fighting to meet the deadline imposed by his multi-million dollar investor. Cameras follow his every move along this often rocky road, as the clock ticks away on his dream.
The heart of both operations is Studio G, the first fully-functioning studio of its kind. A vintage warehouse located in downtown Los Angeles, Studio G uses only eco-friendly technology, sustainable and recycled materials, lit with low power LED lights and powered entirely with solar and wind technologies.
"There has been a lot of talk in the past year about 'Green' programming, but the key component for broadcasters, both here in the US and internationally, is that it has to be entertaining first and foremost, and these guys have nailed it," stated Glen Hansen, Senior Vice President, Sales and Acquisitions, Target Entertainment. "ULTIMATE GREEN MACHINES and FINDING GREEN are very cool shows first, with the added bonus of taking a socially-conscious approach to the subject matter, and we expect them to sell extremely well around the globe."
