After a recent executive shuffle (and a few layoffs), Sundance Channel has announced the launch of a new six-part weekly series. "Iconoclasts" will debut on the cable network in November. The program is a partnership between Sundance Channel, Grey Goose Entertainment, and Condè Nast Media Group. Robert Redford will executive produce. The goal of the show is, according to Sundance, "to present intimate, unpredictable portraits of today’s provocative creative leaders and in the process reveal (their) passions, process and creative aspirations."
In the words of a Sundance announcement this morning:
Each episode of 'Iconoclasts' will bring together two leading creative innovators from different fields including film and television, architecture and design, fashion, food, music, and sports. One will act as a guide into the world of the other to explore their creative process, their inspirations and their passions. In the process, the audience will be immersed in the life and work of a rule-breaking creative visionary, through the perspective of an admirer.The show will be executive produced by Jon Kamen of @radical.media with Michael Davies ("Who Wants To Be A Millionaire") and Chris Moore ("Project Greenlight").
