Atlas Media Corporation Deal For Meat Loaf Documentary

Atlas Media Corporation has reached an exclusive international distribution deal for its feature documentary 'Meat Loaf: In Search Of Paradise' with UK-headquartered 3DD Entertainment.
Under the agreement, 3DD will begin selling the full-length documentary film and a one-hour TV version at MIPCOM next month.
The film, which was produced by Atlas Media in association with Rainbow Media’s VOOM HD Networks and directed by Bruce David Klein (Atlas Media’s president and executive producer), follows the multi-platinum rock icon Meat Loaf as he sets out on his most ambitious worldwide tour to date. Featuring extraordinary behind-the-scenes access, the documentary captures dynamic, intimate and sometimes intense moments as we follow the singer on and off stage through the tour rehearsals, first shows, and ultimately, through the first leg of his worldwide tour. The film was an official selection of the Montreal World Film Festival and is set for a US Theatrical Release in January 2008.
Meat Loaf: In Search Of Paradise is Atlas Media’s first theatrical documentary feature, and its distribution deal marks the first between 3DD and Atlas. Kirby said: “We are proud to kick off our theatrical division with this entertaining portrait of an international icon like Meat Loaf, who has never before allowed cameras to document his creative process.
“It is most fitting that 3DD Entertainment, a company with a widely successful international track record with both music and film properties is nurturing this project abroad.”
