INTRODUCTION

a continued passion to satisfy
curiosity. With over 1,400 hours of
original HD programming available
for license, DEI is proud to present
our Fall Program Sales catalog.
Available for pre-sale or coproduction opportunities, the series
Rock Stars of Urban Art follows
Hadnet and Lars as they travel the
world in search of the finest graffiti
artists. Join these urban visionaries
as they explore the street art scenes
and challenge the local artists to
create graffiti paintings that are just
as gritty and avant-garde as they
are themselves. Venture to Puerto
Rico, New York, LA and Paris as they
meet with local artists, musicians,
and celebrities that inspire and
commission these amazing
works of art.
From the visionary mind behind
Blade Runner and Alien, comes
Prophets of Science Fiction
which reveals the secrets of the
uncanny vision of science fiction’s
founding fathers. Episodes include
an intimate look into the minds of
legendary figures including Isaac
Asimov, Gene Roddenberry and Jules
Verne to examine how their work
often inspired future discoveries
decades before they took place.

PRODUCED BY SCOTT FREE / 2010
Hadnet and Lars travel the globe to track
down and challenge the world’s best
graffiti artists. Hadnet, a TV presenter
and radio DJ, knows the ins and outs of
the graffiti scene while Lars, an artist
in his own right, has published a book
about graffiti art. Together, the duo go
off the beaten path to track down young,
sizzling artists in six cities worldwide.
At each location, they have only four days
to find and persuade the best local
graffiti artists, celebrities and local
urban design icons to take part in their
unique Graffiti Project.
What once was just imagination is now
real; what was once the distant future
is now around the corner. The science
of the future was strangely prophesied
by a group of authors, illustrators,
filmmakers and scientists whose
dreams once may have deemed them
renegades and mad scientists.
Prophets of Science Fiction is a
biographical exploration of eight
science fiction visionaries, including
Arthur C. Clarke, HG Wells and Isaac
Isimov, and how their early predictions
eerily predicted the future.
In addition to the compelling
content available from our Discovery
Networks, DEI is also the exclusive
distributor of nearly 130 hours of
20th-century history programming
from Russia 1 and TV Cultura. We
invite you to stop by the booth to
meet with one of our sales directors
to learn more.

1 X 60
PRODUCED BY GURNEY PRODUCTIONS, INC. / 2010
SEASONS 1 – 5, 63 X 60
PRODUCED BY DIVERSE PRODUCTIONS / 2006 – 2010
Scientists are convinced that caves
hold the answers to solving some
of mankind’s biggest challenges,
such as clues to global warming and
revolutionary new medical cures. Travel
with an elite group of underground
explorers on an amazing journey as they
risk their lives in the name of science,
discovering a world of danger deep
below the Earth’s surface.
When disaster strikes, what makes
the difference between those who die
and those who survive? Sole Survivor
examines some of the most extreme and
dramatic cases of survival to understand
just what it takes to get out alive. When
Tom Wilson’s small plane crashed into a
mountaintop on a remote island off the
coast of Vancouver, a series of chance
events and Tom’s quick thinking made
him the only one to escape with his
life. When Anna Allen, her boyfriend
and six others were buried alive in an
avalanche, luck and determination
enabled Anna alone to survive the five
days until rescue.
As one of Discovery Channel’s signature
series, Man vs. Wild does not fail to offer
intrigue and adventure. Each episode
finds the host as he strands himself in
popular wilderness destinations where
tourists often find themselves lost or
in danger. Once there, he finds his way
back to civilization, demonstrating local
survival techniques – and biting into
gut-wrenching eats – along the way.
