1996 saw Damon Hill clinch the Formula 1 World Championship, echoing his father Graham Hill’s achievements. As a summary goes, the movie portrays an exceptional family tale unfolding amidst the thrilling world of high-speed racing. It narrates how Damon Hill braved adversity and surmounted tragedy to escape his father’s shadow and establish himself as a racing legend in his own right.
As a gamer, I struck a deal with the top brass from Signature Entertainment and Independent Entertainment. Elizabeth Williams, their chief commercial officer, and Cora Palfrey, the COO of Independent Entertainment, were the ones in charge of the negotiations.
As a gamer, I’m thrilled to collaborate with the amazing team at Independent Film Sales and the incredibly gifted Alex Holmes to acquire this impactful and motivational documentary about Damon Hill and his extraordinary tale. Sky seems like the ideal platform for this Formula One-centric movie, and I can hardly wait for a fantastic promotion and debut in the U.K. and Ireland alongside them.
