Academy Award-winning Believe Entertainment Group in NYC has made a significant move by signing with Verve for representation. This comes on the heels of a Grammy nomination for their Peacock documentary "Kings from Queens: The Run DMC Story" in the Best Film Music category. The studio has a remarkable track record, having previously won an Oscar and an Emmy for "Dear Basketball," an animated short film directed and animated by Glen Keane with a score by John Williams. They also garnered Emmys for PBS's "American Anthems" docuseries and YouTube Kids' "Jam Van."

Unique Partnership and Future Endeavors

Believe's Co-Founder, Dan Goodman, emphasizes the significance of this partnership. "In Verve, we've found not just representation but a true business partner. They have immediately started engaging across our entire portfolio, from unscripted to scripted, films, series, podcasts and more. Together, we're building new digital initiatives, financial investments and non-traditional business endeavors that will ensure our continued success in the rapidly changing industry."

Believe's Award-winning Works

Believe Entertainment Group has an extensive list of standout projects. Their two-time Emmy-nominated documentary "Billion Dollar Babies: The True Story of the Cabbage Patch Kids" is one such example. Another notable project is Peacock's "The Bronx Zoo '90: Crime, Chaos and Baseball." Comedy Central and Paramount+'s scripted comedy feature "Office Race" also showcases their creative prowess. Audible's scripted historical fiction podcast "Crowded Hours" and documentary "Between Me and My Mind" about Phish co-founder Trey Anastasio are part of their diverse portfolio. Additionally, they have the animated kids series "The LeBrons" featuring NBA champion LeBron James.
