EPIX DOCUMENTARY INVESTIGATES THE ARREST OF ROSS ULBRICHT, THE ALLEGED “DREAD PIRATE ROBERTS” — FOUNDER OF ONLINE BLACK MARKET SILK ROAD, IN THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY “DEEP WEB”

EPIX DOCUMENTARY INVESTIGATES THE ARREST OF ROSS ULBRICHT,

THE ALLEGED “DREAD PIRATE ROBERTS” — FOUNDER OF ONLINE BLACK MARKET SILK ROAD,

 IN THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY “DEEP WEB”

 WORLD TELEVISION PREMIERE SPRING 2015 

Features Exclusive Participation of the Ulbricht Family And Their Defense

‪New York, NY (JANUARY 20, 2015) – Premium TV network EPIX announced today that its Original Documentary Deep Web, chronicling one of the most important and riveting digital crime sagas of the century — the October 2013 arrest of Ross William Ulbricht — will feature exclusive interviews with the Ulbricht family including Lyn and Kirk Ulbricht, Ross’ parents who have become public advocates for digital rights and due process. Ulbricht, the 30-year-old entrepreneur alleged to be “Dread Pirate Roberts” — founder of Silk Road, the notorious online black market best known for drug trafficking, is currently on trial in New York.  The feature-length documentary explores the inside story of the investigation and unveils how the brightest minds and thought leaders behind the Deep Web and Bitcoin are now caught in the crosshairs of the battle for control of a future inextricably linked to technology. The film also brings into question an individual’s rights to Internet Freedom.  The film is written, directed and produced by Alex Winter (Downloaded); produced by Glen Zipper and Marc Schiller; and the executive producer is Seth Gordon. Deep Web will make its World Television Premiere on EPIX Spring 2015.

Deep Web will also serve up the core architects of the Deep Web; anarchistic cryptographers who developed the Deep Web’s tools for the military in the early 1990s; the dissident journalists and whistleblowers who immediately sought refuge in this seemingly secure environment; and the figures behind the rise of Silk Road, which combines the security of the Deep Web with the anonymity of cryptocurrency. Interviewees include: Joshua Dratel, Ulbricht’s lawyer; Andy Greenberg, technology writer for Wired, author of This Machine Kills Secrets and the first reporter to interview “Dread Pirate Roberts”); Cody Wilson, a crypto-anarchist known for his development of the “3D printed gun;” Gavin Andresen, chief scientist at the Bitcoin Foundation; Andrew Lewman, the Executive Director of Tor, a suite of tools that allows users to access content on the internet anonymously; and Todd Shipley, a cyber and high tech crimes expert.

Here is an advanced clip from Deep Web: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AudR43ttdZY

EPIX PRESENTS DWIGHT HOWARD: IN THE MOMENT AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT THE LIFE OF NBA ALL-STAR DWIGHT HOWARD

EPIX PRESENTS DWIGHT HOWARD: IN THE MOMENT 

AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT THE LIFE OF NBA ALL-STAR DWIGHT HOWARD 

The Original Documentary Makes its World Television Premiere on November 12 at 8PM ET/PT

New York, NY (November 5, 2014) – Premium entertainment network EPIX will provide basketball fans courtside seats to Dwight Howard In the Moment, an EPIX Original Documentary that follows Dwight’s path from a small-town kid becoming a seven-time NBA All-Star and three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, to his fall from grace and road to redemption. Dwight Howard In the Moment makes its World Television Premiere on Wednesday, November 12, 2014 at 8pm ET/PT.

The number one pick in the 2004 NBA draft, straight out of a tiny high school in Atlanta, Georgia, Dwight joined the Orlando Magic and began a meteoric rise, quickly becoming one of the top 10 most recognizable athletes in the world and earning a reputation as charismatic, intensely competitive, and unwaveringly loyal.

For the first time, viewers will see how Dwight, known for his smile, dunks, Superman cape, and charity work, found himself in uncharted waters. From his glory days with Orlando and his season-ending back surgery, to his tumultuous year with the L.A. Lakers, to his fresh start in Houston, Dwight was tested physically, mentally, and emotionally. Dwight Howard In the Moment takes us through these key moments, showing us how he emerged from his ordeals a more mature, confident player and person.

Today, Dwight is back, most notably with his dominant performance in last year’s tough playoff series, and his continued pursuit of a championship with the Rockets.

“Dwight Howard is one of the biggest names and greatest talents in basketball,” said Mark Greenberg, EPIX CEO and President. “We are delighted to offer his fans a glimpse into his life beyond what is shown on the court.”

Dwight Howard is the latest sports figure profiled in the “In the Moment” series.  Past athletes include David Ortiz, Amar’e Stoudemire and Lindsey Vonn.  Join the conversation about #InTheMoment on Twitter http://Twitter.com/EpixHD, on Facebook http://Facebook.com/EPIX and on EPIX.com www.epix.com/epix-presents-dwight-howard-in-the-moment.

Dwight Howard In the Momentis directed by Ross Greenburg.  Executive Producers are Matthew Weaver and Michael D. Ratner and Ross Bernard is executive-in-charge of production for EPIX.

RUSSELL BRAND: MESSIAH COMPLEX TO MAKE U.S. PREMIERE ON EPIX ON NOVEMBER 28, 10 PM ET/PT

Russell Brand: Messiah Complex to Make U.S. Premiere on EPIX November 28, 10 PM ET/PT

EPIX Original Comedy Event Debuts on Black Friday, Part of Thanksgiving Weekend

 “Supersized Feast of Comedy”

New York, NY (October 8, 2014) – Premium TV network EPIX announced today that comedian Russell Brand will bring his singular mix of wicked humor and insight to the multi-platform service in the EPIX Original Comedy Event, Russell Brand: Messiah Complex, premiering on November 28 at 10 PM ET/PT.

Filmed live at London’s Hammersmith Apollo, Messiah Complex takes a hilarious and scathing look at our insatiable craving for icons and divine wisdom. Through the lens of contemporary politics and culture, Russell focuses on heroes Malcolm X, Che Guevara, Gandhi, and Jesus Christ to lay waste to conventional thinking in an outrageous 90-minute special that holds nothing sacred.

“Russell Brand is a huge talent who welcomes the chance to challenge people, issues and institutions through his unique comic perspective, and we’re very excited to connect him to the EPIX audience across all of our platforms,” said EPIX President and CEO Mark Greenberg.

“Messiah Complex on EPIX is a joyous media event like the moon landings or the OJ Simpson trial. Except it really happened and no one gets murdered,” said Russell Brand.

Russell Brand: Messiah Complex will debut on EPIX on “Black Friday” as part of the Thanksgiving weekend “Supersized Feast of Comedy” marathon, November 27th through November 30th.

In addition to his standup performances, Russell has successfully brought his caustic wit and penetrating observations to the printed page. His newest works are Revolution (Ballantine Books, October 14th), in which he hilariously lacerates the straw men and paper tigers of our conformist times and presents; and a wildly funny and astute adaptation of The Pied Piper of Hamelin (Atria Books, November 11, 2014), the first in a series of Trickster Tales through which he brings his unique contemporary sensibilities to the classics.

Russell Brand: Messiah Complex is the latest special to join EPIX’s roster of original comedy events, which includes Lewis Black Old Yeller Live at the Borgata, Louis C.K. Hilarious, Jim Norton: American Degenerate, Dennis Miller: America 180º, Jenny McCarthy’s Dirty Sexy Funny, Patton Oswalt: Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time.  Russell Brand appeared earlier on the network in Amnesty International’s Secret Policeman’s Ball.

Join the conversation about #MessiahComplex on Twitter http://twitter.com/EpixHD, on Facebook http://Facebook.com/EPIX and on the EPIX webpage http://www.epix.com/russell-brand-messiah-complex.

Russell Brand: Messiah Complex is an EPIX Original Comedy Event.  Lucy Ansbro and Nik Linnen are the executive producers, Gareth Roy is the producer and Paul Wheeler is the director.  For EPIX Ross Bernard is the executive producer.

DEEP WEB: THE UNTOLD STORY OF BITCOIN AND SILK ROAD TO MAKE WORLD PREMIERE IN 2015 ON EPIX

DEEP WEB: THE UNTOLD STORY OF BITCOIN AND SILK ROAD

TO MAKE WORLD PREMIERE IN 2015 ON EPIX

EPIX Original Documentary Investigates Tight-knit and Burgeoning Community Beneath the Visible World Wide Web

 New York, NY (October 1, 2014) – Premium TV network EPIX announced today that the Original Documentary, Deep Web: The Untold Story of Bitcoin and Silk Road, will make its World Premiere on the multi-platform service in 2015.

Deep Web tells the behind-the-scenes story of the un-indexed, often intentionally hidden content that accounts for at least 96% of the World Wide Web, focusing on digital currency Bitcoin and online black market Silk Road.

EPIX viewers will be able to watch the premiere and subsequent showings on TV, on demand, online, and on any of the hundreds of digital devices through which the network can be accessed via the EPIX App.

Central to the film are looks at the rise of Bitcoin, the fastest growing currency in the world, which is not controlled by any government, regulating body or financial institution, and the arrest of Ross William Ulbricht, the 26-year-old entrepreneur who is alleged to be “Dread Pirate Roberts,” the founder of Silk Road.

Deep Web will feature exclusive interviews with the chief architects of both the Silk Road and the new black markets, as well as exclusive interviews with Lyn Ulbricht, Ross Ulbricht’s mother, in her first film interview on her son’s arrest, and Joshua Dratel, Ulbricht ’s defense attorney. Other interviewees include Gavin Andresen, chief scientist at the Bitcoin Foundation; and Andrew Lewman, the Executive Director of Tor, a suite of tools that allows users to access content on the internet anonymously.

“Deep Web is a provocative, illuminating look into an online world that is hiding in plain sight, and we’re thrilled to present its World Premiere,” said EPIX President & CEO Mark Greenberg. “The film takes viewers on a revelatory journey exploring the secrets of Bitcoin, Silk Road, and other of the Deep Web’s many mysteries.”

Alex Winter is the writer, director and producer of Deep Web, with Marc Schiller and Glen Zipper also serving as producers. Winter and Schiller previously worked together on the documentary Downloaded, about the rise and fall of Napster.  Zipper’s prior credits include the Academy Award® winning Undefeated and the Grammy Award® winning Foo Fighters: Back and Forth.

Joining the production are Executive Producer Seth Gordon, Consulting Producer Andy Greenberg, and Editor Dan Swietlik. Gordon is the filmmaker behind Horrible Bosses, Identity Thief and The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. He has also served in producing roles on the documentaries Print the Legend, Mitt, Freakonomics and Undefeated. Greenberg is a technology reporter for WIRED, and his book, This Machine Kills Secrets, will serve as source material for the film. Greenberg has had unrivaled access to key Deep Web players, such as Julian Assange, and was the first reporter to interview “Dread Pirate Roberts.” Swietlik is a renowned feature and commercial editor and has collaborated with Michael Moore on Sicko and Davis Guggenheim on An Inconvenient Truth.

“We could not be more thrilled to have EPIX presenting this vital film to their wide-reaching audience,” said Schiller. “Although portrayed as a novel innovation populated by hackers and techno-geeks, we look forward to sharing how Bitcoin, Silk Road and the Deep Web have a much richer history with stakes considerably more grave than the conventional media has reported.”

“The Deep Web embodies some of the most significant and impactful issues of our time, yet it is largely misrepresented and misunderstood,” said Winter. “We are excited to be working with EPIX to bring this extraordinary story to light.”
