FREAKNIK: THE WILDEST PARTY NEVER TOLD

PREMIERE DATE: MARCH 21, 2024

Premiering March 21 on Hulu in the U.S., Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in Select Territories

**Please note this is a new announcement**

DATE ANNOUNCEMENT ASSET: HERE

GENRE: Documentary

SYNOPSIS: From Executive Producers Luke Campbell, Jermaine Dupri and 21 Savage, and masterfully crafted by Mass Appeal & Swirl Films, "Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told" is a celebratory exploration of the boisterous times of Freaknik, the iconic Atlanta street party that drew hundreds of thousands of people in the 80s and 90s, helping put Atlanta on the map culturally. What began as a Black college cookout, soon became known for lurid tales of highway hookups and legendary late-night parties that ultimately led to the festival's downfall. At its height, Freaknik was a traffic stopping, city-shuttering, juggernaut that has since become a cult classic. Rooted deep in its history of Civil Rights, thriving Black leadership, and focus on the uplifting of Black culture and education, Atlanta became the only place a festival like this could grow and thrive. Though it ceased over two decades ago, the infamous legacy still resonates through nostalgia and a new generation's longing for a care-free platform that celebrates and promotes Black excellence, joy and fortitude. Featuring appearances by 21 Savage, Lil Jon, Killer Mike, Jalen Rose, Too $hort, Shanti Das, former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Erick Sermon, CeeLo Green, Rico Wade, Kenny Burns and more, the film offers an intimate glimpse into an enduring legacy, while acknowledging the complexities it introduced into the social fabric and leaving an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of Atlanta and beyond.

CREDITS: From Mass Appeal in association with Swirl Films, "Freaknik, The Wildest Party Never Told" is executive produced by Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell, Jermaine Dupri, 21 Savage, Terry "TR" Ross, Melissa Cooper, Alex Avant and Tresa Sanders. Geraldine L. Porras and P. Frank Williams serve as executive producers with Porras serving as showrunner and Williams as Director. Eric Tomosunas executive produces for Swirl Films and Peter Bittenbender executive produces for Mass Appeal. Swirl films' Jay Allen and Nikki Byles serve as producers.

THE CONTESTANT

PREMIERE DATE: MAY 2, 2024

Coming Soon to Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in Select Other Territories

**Please note this is a new announcement**

GENRE: Documentary

SYNOPSIS: This true story of a 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, prompts innumerable questions about our culture of oversharing. Before the onslaught of reality television in the West, there was an ominous harbinger in Japan of what was to come in our oversharing-obsessed culture. The Contestant traces the experience of aspiring comedian Tomoaki Hamatsu, nicknamed Nasubi, who unwittingly became an extreme case study. In 1998, Nasubi thought he was attending an audition when a successful Japanese TV producer, Toshio Tsuchiya, enlisted him to take part in a challenge. Tsuchiya led Nasubi into a room, ordered him to strip naked and left him with a stack of magazines. Nasubi's task was to fill out contest coupons in order to win what he needed to survive - food, clothing, appliances, etc. - until he reached the prize goal of one million yen. Although Nasubi could have left at any time, he stayed for months with a fierce determination to complete his mission. He was cut off from all contact with his family and the world except for occasional interactions with Tsuchiya. What Nasubi didn't realize was that his experiences were being broadcast to over 15 million people in a TV show called Denpa Shonen: A Life in Prizes. Without his knowledge or consent, Nasubi became the most famous television personality in Japan. While parts of Nasubi's infamy have been recounted before on YouTube and This American Life, director Clair Titley and producer Megumi Inman bring a revelatory depth of insight by interviewing Nasubi, Tsuchiya, and others close to them. The filmmakers explore further twists in Nasubi's life after Denpa Shonen to deliver the most WTF story in this year's documentary selection.

CREDITS: Written and Directed by: Clair Titley Produced by: Megumi Inman, Andee Ryder, Ian Bonhôte Denpa Shonen Narrator: Fred Armisen Voice of Nasubi's Diary: Takehiro Hira Original Music By: Nainita Desai

But the joke is on them when they only end up in bizarre, alternate versions of their high school, surrounded by offbeat versions of their classmates.
