Ultimate Rush is a 20-part series where world-class athletes pair with the ultimate filmmakers in Hollywood story telling. Pulitzer Prize nominee and Hollywood screenwriter Stephen Schiff (Wall Street, Lolita, True Crime) teams up with the action-sports wizards from Red Bull Media House and Matchstick Productions to ask the ultimate question: Why do these athletes do what they do? Chris Davenport, Antoine Montant, Hervé Cerutti, Steve Fisher and other action sports legends join forces with cameramen greats like Scott Gaffney, Dustin Lindgren and Guillaume Tessier to explore the fine line between extreme sport, philosophy and art. Directed by Murray Wais and Steve Winter, this cinematic quest takes viewers from the Rocky Mountains to Morocco, from Bolivia to China, and from Thailand to Norway with breathtaking scenery and compelling stories. Produced by Red Bull Media House, Ultimate Rush premieres on August 23rd at 8:00pm ET.
Breakdance is a street sport – and for breakdancing greats known as "B-Boys," it's a way to express their feelings and deal with what is often a tough way of life. The focus of Break'N Reality, a six-part series, is on three B-Boy heroes about to make important decisions. Lilou lives in France and feels he owes Algeria, his home country, a third title as World Champion. Roxrite, the breakdance legend from San Diego, wants to pass his skills on to the next generation. Neguin's performance integrates fight moves from Brazilian Capoeira. Despite his grief for his dead brother, he intends to defend his title. Three exceptional breakdancers are united in the same attitude about their sport - and believe in the same values – respect, friendship and staying true to their roots – even if each one of them has a different vision of his future. Produced by Red Bull Media House, Break'N Reality premieres on August 23rd at 9:00pm ET.
