David Green, Executive Chairman, DCD Media, said "We are delighted that Rize and its rainmaker-in-chief, Sheldon Lazarus, have made such a fantastic start. The current strong pipeline of projects bodes well on both sides of the Atlantic and Rize's output is totally in line with DCD's powerful portfolio of non-fiction offerings which will continue to generate valuable IP to be exploited worldwide".

Sheldon Lazarus, Creative Director, Rize USA, commented: "We have had an exciting start and are pleased with the number and variety of new projects already in production. We will continue our efforts to grow the company into a key player in popular factual programmes with universal appeal that can be sold worldwide"
