Shark Teeth Films engineers Building Bad deal with Bell Media, Cineflix Rights

The series examines what happens when engineers turn to the dark side

Canadian broadcast group Bell Media has pre-bought the first season of factual engineering series Building Bad.

Produced by Toronto-based outfit Shark Teeth Films (Secrets in the Jungle), the 10×60’ series examines what happens when scientists, inventors and engineers turn to the dark side.

It details how Columbian drug cartels designed secret narco submarines, and why the Italian Mafia built assassination drones.

Executive producers are Adrian Carter and Tom Mudd for Shark Teeth Films, plus Felicia Litovitz and Richard Life for Cineflix Rights, which is handling global distribution.

Litovitz, VP acquisitions, North America, Cineflix Rights, said: “The Shark Teeth team has a great track record of producing high quality content appealing to a wide demographic.

“We’ve already had great success with their previous series Mysterious Islands, so we’re thrilled to be building on our partnership with them to turn another Canadian show into an international hit.”
