UK version of Twitter: Breaking the Bird to launch next week

A feature-length version of the documentary Twitter: Breaking the Bird premieres on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer on Monday 31 March. An extended four-part version aired on CNN and CNN.com earlier in March.

Three Stern & Wild clients were key members of the production team for both projects: Fred Hepburn is Co-Executive Producer, Ricardo Pollack is an Executive Producer and Kate Quine is Series Director.

The film explores the history of the social media platform from its creation in 2006 to its multi-billion-dollar sale in 2022 and gives the inside story of the revolutionary app featuring the voices of the founders themselves.

It is produced by Candle True Stories and Bitachon365 for the BBC and CNN Original Series. In addition to Ricardo, Executive Producers are James Goldston for Candle True Stories, Sheldon Lazarus for Bitachon365, and Amy Entelis and Lyle Gamm for CNN Original Series. It was commissioned for the BBC by Jack Bootle, Head of Specialist Factual Commissioning; Tom Coveney, the BBC’s Head of Science, is Commissioning Editor.

Televisual has an interesting piece on the project, which can be read here.
