WHO WE ARE…
Misfits is a London-based production company creating premium, cinematic documentaries for global audiences.
From Sundance premieres to BAFTA and Emmy wins, our films are crafted for scale, designed to feel as powerful in a theatre as they do on the world’s leading streaming platforms. We develop a small number of projects each year: stories with ambition, complexity and cultural weight.
Misfits Entertainment was founded in 2016 by Andee (Dee) Ryder and Ian Bonhôte off the back of ALLEYCATS, their successful first feature which was globally distributed by Universal Pictures. Misfits’ then burst onto the documentary scene in 2018 with the double -BAFTA-nominated MCQUEEN, directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui. The team went on to make RISING PHOENIX, winner of two Emmys, about the Paralympic movement with Netflix and KINGDOM OF DREAMS, its four-part non-fiction series about the fashion industry, with Fremantle and Sky.
Our recent feature SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim before securing a landmark $15 million sale. The film screened in over 40 countries and went on to win the BAFTA, Critics’ Choice and Producers Guild Awards for Best Documentary.
Recognised by SCREEN DAILY as one of the UK’s leading documentary production companies, we work with partners including Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Sky, Universal, Fremantle, CNN, Lionsgate and Neon.
Misfits Entertainment is part of the Mediawan group.
