EDMONTON – Score G Production Films announced today it is producing a new Super Channel original documentary on the life of Bif Naked (above), along with Electric Panda Entertainment, Her Royal Majesty’s Ent., and Gruvpix Films.
Bif Naked: One of a Kind, which is expected to air early in 2024 and is being licenced by Super Channel, “will unveil the extraordinary life story of punk-alternative music artist Bif Naked, AKA Beth Torbert and how this small-town girl who was orphaned in New Delhi, India became one of Canada’s most beloved and treasured rock icons,” a press release says.
Jennifer Abbott (The Corporation, The Magnitude of All Things, The New Corporation) will write and direct the documentary and Adam Scorgie, Yas Taalat, Gabriel Napora and Shane Fennessey will produce it. Peter Karroll, Yipeng Ben Lu, Mackenzie Donaldson, Costa Vassos, Cody Sparshu, Jim Malmgren and Darin Thera are included as executive producers on the film.
“I am so honoured to be working with the unparalleled talent of Yas Taalat, Gabriel Napora and Yipeng Ben Lu of Electric Panda Entertainment, and Adam Scorgie and his team at Score G Productions,” Bif Naked said, in the release.
“We are all super excited to be working with the world-renowned filmmaker Jennifer Abbott. I am completely blown away! I’m overjoyed to finally have a chance to not only share my story, but ultimately to share what I went through, and what my real life is really like. With Jennifer Abbott directing I feel like this will be my Truth – told authentically and powerfully: the real story about my adventure living such a full life from the beginnings in Uttar Pradesh and beyond. This is all a dream coming true!”
“We have collaborated with Adam and the team at Score G on several exceptional documentaries and are thrilled to work with them again to bring yet another compelling Canadian story to Super Channel. We look forward to sharing Bif Naked’s captivating life story with our audience,” said Don McDonald, Super Channel president and CEO.
