WHO WE ARE…
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.
THE CONTESTANT is a Misfits doc about an unwitting Japanese reality TV star left naked in a room for more than a year, tasked with filling out magazine sweepstakes to earn food and clothing. This film had a strong festival run including Toronto International Film Festival, Camden, Doc NYC, CPH:DOX and others and was acquired by Hulu who launched the film in May 2024 complete with billboards in Times Square and a major press campaign.
Most recently, Misfits produced SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY which premiered to rave reviews at Sundance Film Festival and was awarded the BAFTA for Best Documentary in 2025. The film, sold to Warner Bros was released theatrically worldwide from September 2024.
