Ian Bonhóte and Peter Ettedgui ("McQueen," "Kingdom of Dreams") will co-direct the documentary alongside Head of Documentary at Misfits Entertainment, Lizzie Gillett serving as producer. Executive producers are David Moulton and Andrew Ruhemann of Passion Documentaries, Andee Ryder of Misfits Entertainment, Daniel Kilroy of Jenco Films, and Connor Schell, Marie Margolius, Libby Geist of New York-based Words + Pictures, creators and producers of Oscar-winning documentary "OJ: Made In America".
