We’re stoked to announce that our original 16-Episode docu-series “American Daredevils” has been picked up for broadcast syndication by our hometown hero Robert Rodriquez’s television network El Rey.  American Daredevils was a four-year documentary film project that Widespread Creative producers Kelly Lipscomb and Matt Tisdale developed and filmed independently with the help of many great American Daredevils before selling the original 16-episode series to AE Network’s History Channel in association with Transition Productions.
