Rabbit Films will soon be recognized at the Banff Rockie Awards for its title, "Ultimate Escape." “Ultimate Escape is an extremely exciting, dangerous and cinematic show that really impresses its viewers no matter where they come from," Head of International at Rabbit Films, Jonathan Tuovinen, said. "We at Rabbit Films are very humbled to be acknowledged by the Rockies as a nominee in the Best Competition Series category amongst other very impressive shows."
Following its win last week at The International Format Awards in Cannes, the Rabbit Films original adventure reality format will now be introduced at the event's 43rd edition.
The title is set to go up against "The Great British Bake Off," "RuPaul’s Drag Race," "Alone and The Bachelorette." Ultimate Escape is also the only non-English language programme in the category.
The Rockies will be held during the Banff World Media Festival in Canada 12-15 June. The awards recognize excellence in global television and digital content. Entries from more than 55 countries compete each year, and winners are selected by an international industry jury of more than 150 senior entertainment and media professionals.
