‘Jazzy Jumpers’ Documentary On Brooklyn Double Dutch Team In Works From Haley Elizabeth Anderson, Indigenous Media And P&G Studios; Storm Reid Among EPs
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Haley Elizabeth Anderson has wrapped production on Jazzy Jumpers, a documentary she was tapped to direct for Indigenous Media, P&G Studios and A Seed & Wings Productions.
The film tells the story of the Brownsville, Brooklyn-based Double Dutch Team Jazzy Jumpers, headed up by Coach Toni Veal, watching as this group — which has, in recent years, attracted national media coverage — works to defend their World Championship title from their headquarters bordering a public housing complex.
This is the first project on which P&G and Indigenous have partnered, as well as the first feature to emerge from 60 Second Docs, the latter’s three-time Webby Award-winning label, which has to date put out around 1,000 short documentaries about the world’s most interesting and unusual characters.
Anderson came to the film as an alum of P&G’s Queen Collective, a longstanding program developed in partnership with Queen Latifah, Flavor Unit Entertainment and Tribeca Studios that looks to accelerate gender and racial equality behind the camera.
