Off The Fence To Produce Shark Tale

Bristol-based independent production company Off the Fence Ltd. has received a commission from the BBC to produce a 1 x 60’ documentary for the prestigious Natural World strand.
'Feeding the Giants' is one of only seven documentaries commissioned this year by the BBC for the Natural World strand from independent production companies. Currently in production and due for delivery in autumn 2008, Feeding the Giants follows South African Michael Rutzen as he attempts to fulfil his dream – to swim amongst great white sharks – in the wild, without a cage.
Joe Kennedy, Director of Production at Off the Fence Bristol commented: "The high production values and gripping stories inherent in the award-winning Natural World strand are world-renowned and we are honoured that Feeding the Giants will sit alongside such prestigious programming. Mike is an extraordinary individual who has dedicated his life to encourage understanding of sharks far beyond the traditional opinion of 'man-eater'. We are confident that we will be able to bring his true passion to the screen, communicating his adventures in a way to create scintillating viewing for a worldwide audience."
