“They’re very different characters, Brian and Ron, but they’re explorers in ways I find intriguing,” Gibney said. “I couldn’t be more thrilled it’s happening and I am glad that my former colleague from HBO, Sara Bernstein, is part of this. She and Justin Wilkes are already cooking up a lot of things together. Ron and Brian have a storied career in feature filmmaking and I’m sure that will help us expand more into the fiction area, and engage with our new scripted exec Kevin Plunkett.

“It’s remarkable the way audiences and companies have discovered the viability, meaning and power behind the documentary medium,” Howard told Deadline. “Under Justin and Sara, the work we’ve been able to do just in the last 18 months is incredibly gratifying and great for Imagine’s growth.
