Beach House Pictures

Beach House Pictures, the Singapore-based Fremantle label, has unveiled two new documentaries: “Panda School,” a three-part wildlife series narrated by comedian and actor Jimmy O. Yang, and “Secret Weapons of China’s First Emperor,” a one-hour history doc co-produced with China Media Group (CMG), with Fremantle distributing both.

“Panda School” (3×60′) follows a cohort of giant panda cubs at a conservation facility set high in the mountains of China’s Sichuan Province as they acquire the skills needed for life in the wild. The series was produced for Nat Geo EMEA in association with Fremantle, which holds international distribution rights outside Nat Geo’s European, African and Middle Eastern territory footprint. Hannah Hoare serves as series director; Nell Gordon and Drew Jones executive produce for Nat Geo, and Donovan Chan for Beach House Pictures.
