Rabbit Signs Documentary Film Duo LOKI

Fresh off of the Sundance premier of their powerful documentary 12th & Delaware, New York-based LOKI has signed with Rabbit. Comprised of directing duo Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, LOKI is a documentarian team with a reputation for creating impressive works for the silver screen and television. LOKI has been lauded for gaining unprecedented access into hidden worlds and taking an honest approach to delicate subject matter. In addition to the deep-felt issues explored in 12th & Delaware - a powerful look at the abortion-rights controversy and how it affects one community on a daily basis - their work covers a broad array of subjects, including the inner workings of Scientology, the criminally insane, ritualistic body piercing practices, Christian missionaries, and the plight of the aging rock star.

"There's no doubt that LOKI is an original pair, putting out some of the most interesting work on the documentary scene today," noted Rabbit EP Douglas Howell. LOKI is currently adapting the bestselling book Freakonomics to the big screen and is in production on a film about the youth of Saudi Arabia for MTV. Their television work includes shows for CBS, A&E, PBS, VH1, Al Jazeera, Channel 4, and Canal Plus, among others.

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 worldwide. LOKI 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," noted 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. We've been really impressed with what Douglas (Howell) and everyone else has been able to put together and what they have planned for the future."
