Osmosis Global, founded by Chris Grant, is making waves in the entertainment industry with its innovative approach to unscripted content. The studio is set to launch a first-run U.S. studio model, with the highly anticipated “Saving Yellowstone With Dennis Quaid” as its inaugural project. The series, premiering on Discovery and Animal Planet, follows Quaid as he sheds light on the threats facing the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, spanning across Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho.
Produced by Warm Springs Productions, a partner and investor of Osmosis, “Saving Yellowstone” has already garnered international interest, with distribution deals in Canada, Norway, and Australia. Grant emphasized the importance of working with premium talent on projects that resonate with their personal interests, as seen in the creation of “Saving Yellowstone” with Quaid at the helm.
The docuseries delves into the various challenges facing the region, from disease and drought to human encroachment and climate change, offering viewers a unique perspective on the efforts to preserve this iconic American landscape. Osmosis is now taking on the role of deficit financing or fully financing original content, paving the way for more impactful storytelling in the unscripted space.
With several projects already in production, Osmosis aims to collaborate with producers and talent who are passionate about bringing their ideas to life. Grant highlighted the shifting landscape of the industry, emphasizing the need to adapt to the changing demands of U.S. buyers, international markets, advertisers, and streaming platforms.
Since its inception in 2023, Osmosis Global has built a diverse sales slate, featuring projects from renowned production companies like Warm Springs Productions, V10 Entertainment, Roc Nation, and more. The studio’s expansion into first-run content marks a new chapter in its evolution, allowing for greater creative freedom and ownership of rights in a rapidly evolving media landscape.
As Osmosis continues to push boundaries in the distribution of formats and readymades globally, Grant remains focused on curating projects that make a meaningful impact. The studio’s recent endeavors, including the thought-provoking docuseries “We Will Dance Again” and the compelling narrative of “Checkpoint Zoo,” reflect Osmosis’ commitment to producing content that resonates with audiences worldwide.
In a time where the need for authentic storytelling is paramount, Osmosis Global stands out as a trailblazer in the industry, setting a new standard for unscripted content that captivates and inspires. With a diverse portfolio of projects on the horizon, Osmosis is poised to make a lasting impact on the world of entertainment.
