TUBI TO EXCLUSIVELY DEBUT 2020 OFFICIAL SUNDANCE SELECTION BEAST BEAST
FROM DANNY MADDEN AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY ALEC BALDWIN ON FEBRUARY 12

FOX Entertainment’s free streaming service will debut the Atlanta Film Festival winner and Sundance NEXT Innovator Award nominee, from Vanishing Angle, in the U.S. and Canada

SAN FRANCISCO, February 8, 2021 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), a division of FOX Entertainment, today announced it will exclusively debut the critically acclaimed 2020 Sundance Selection Beast Beast, written and directed by Danny Madden (Krista) and executive produced by Alec Baldwin, on February 12. Beast Beast, from Vanishing Angle, stars Shirley Chen (Krista), Will Madden (The Wolf of Snow Hollow), Jose Angeles (I Hate the Color Red), Courtney Dietz (Queen America), and Daniel Rashid (Being Frank). The movie, also the 2020 Audience Award and Georgia Film Award winner at the Atlanta Film Festival, chronicles the lives and trauma surrounding three people living in a southern town. Beast Beast joins Tubi’s massive library of 30,000 movies and television shows, absolutely free to viewers.

“We’re thrilled that Danny Madden’s critically-acclaimed coming-of-age story has found a home with Tubi,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “We’re proud to support talented filmmakers like the Beast Beast team as we expand our growing indie library with premium titles and help these incredible films reach broader audiences.”

Beast Beast is set in a quiet southern town, where popular and charismatic theatre kid Krista (Chen) finds herself increasingly drawn to Nito (Angeles), the new student in her high school who catches her attention with his impressive skating videos. The two share an easy rapport and quickly grow close. Unbeknownst to her, their lives and that of her gun-loving neighbor, Adam (Madden), will soon become intertwined—until they reach a breaking point.

Director Danny Madden takes his award-winning short film Krista and transforms it into a feature exploration of adolescence, performance, and identity. Beast Beast captures what it means to come of age in an era marked by technology and social media, where violent clashes awaken dormant passions and teenagers are faced with growing up all too quickly. Madden has been listed on Filmmakermagazine’s “25 new faces of independent film” in 2012, after (Notes on) Biology won the short animation prize at the SXSW Film Festival.

Beast Beast was an official selection at SXSW and also received the Grand Jury Prize at Champs-Elysees Film Festival’s US In Progress. Produced in association with Baldwin’s company, Persona Entertainment, the film is also executive produced by Casey Bader and Jim Cummings with Benjamin Wiessner, Matt Miller and Tara Ansley serving as producers. Kristian Zuniga serves as Director of Photography.

All eight episodes of series’ first season are now available to stream for free on Tubi
as part of platform’s broader commitment to Spanish-language programming

SAN FRANCISCO, January 29, 2021 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), a division of FOX Entertainment, today announced it is now the exclusive AVOD home to ¿Quién es la Máscara?, the Mexican edition of the popular television franchise The Masked Singer. Host Omar Chaparro is joined by an all-star panel of “investigators” featuring Yuri, Carlos Rivera, Consuelo Duval and Adrián Uribe. Kiara Liz, winner of Univision’s Mira Quien Baila All Stars also gives viewers exclusive show content. All eight episodes from the first season of the top-rated competition series are now available for free on Tubi and Tubi en Español.

¿Quién es la Máscara? captures the audience’s hearts as it introduces 16 celebrities who have to sing in creative costumes.

In every episode are duels between two or more contestants. The audience chooses the best performance each week and one celebrity will be at risk of elimination. The panel of “investigators” decide who will leave the show and take off the mask.

¿Quién es la Máscara? is based on the original format created by MunHwa Broadcasting Corp. (MBC) that has successfully aired in the U.S., Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and China. ¿Quién Es la Máscara? is produced by Televisa and Endemol Shine Boomdog. The Mexican series is distributed internationally by Banijay Rights.
