EXCLUSIVE: Academy Award-winning NYC studio Believe Entertainment Group has signed with Verve for representation.
The news follows the announcement of a Grammy nomination for the company’s Peacock documentary Kings from Queens: The Run DMC Story in the Best Film Music category.
Believe has previously won both an Oscar and an Emmy for Dear Basketball, the animated short film written and created by the late NBA star Kobe Bryant, which animation legend Glen Keane directed and animated, with a score by John Williams. The company also garnered Emmys for PBS’s American Anthems docuseries, co-produced with NBCUniversal Syndication Studios, and YouTube Kids’ Jam Van.
Other standout projects for Believe Entertainment Group include the two-time Emmy-nominated documentary Billion Dollar Babies: The True Story of the Cabbage Patch Kids, Peacock’s New York Yankees doc The Bronx Zoo ’90: Crime, Chaos and Baseball, Comedy Central and Paramount+’s scripted comedy feature Office Race, Audible’s scripted historical fiction podcast Crowded Hours, documentary Between Me and My Mind about Phish co-founder Trey Anastasio, and The LeBrons, an animated kids series with NBA champion LeBron James.
“In Verve we’ve found not just representation but a true business partner who has immediately started engaging across our entire portfolio of work from unscripted to scripted, films, series, podcasts and more,” said Believe’s Co-Founder, Dan Goodman. “Together with Verve we’re building new digital initiatives, financial investments and non-traditional business endeavors that will ensure our continued success in the next phase of our rapidly changing industry.”
Commented Verve partner Andy Stabile, “Believe Entertainment Group is a uniquely creative and dynamic studio with an award-winning body of work that is nothing short of inspiring. The Believe team is a group of great storytellers who have consistently collaborated with important artists, athletes and brands to bring their stories to the screen in the most compelling ways possible. Believe’s projects are thoughtful, beautifully executed and culturally impactful. Verve is honored to represent this very talented team.”
It’s been a busy season for Verve on the Non-Fiction front. This month, the agency saw the Paramount+ premiere of client Tamra Davis’s feature doc Larger Than Life: Reign of the Boybands, also announcing The Road, a new CBS country singing competition series debuting in 2025 from Taylor Sheridan and Verve client Lucky Horseshoe Productions. In addition to Object & Animal, whose Netflix feature documentary Daughters won two awards at Sundance and is an Oscar hopeful, the agency notably reps a significant roster of chefs, with clients Duff Goldman and Molly Yeh among Food Network’s highest-rated culinary personalities.
