WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR? Acquired by Focus Features
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW YORK, November 27, 2017 – Focus Features has acquired the worldwide rights to Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, the new documentary about the life and work of Mister Fred Rogers. From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom), the documentary is a Focus Features presentation of a Tremolo Production, in association with Impact Partners and Independent Lens/PBS. It is set to be released on June 8, 2018. Focus chairman Peter Kujawski made the announcement today.
Won’t You Be My Neighbor? takes an intimate look at America’s favorite neighbor: Mister Fred Rogers. A portrait of a man whom we all think we know, this documentary is an emotional and moving film that takes you beyond zip-up cardigans and the land of make-believe, and into the heart of a creative genius, who inspired generations of children with compassion and limitless imagination.
“Morgan once again avoids making a traditional biodoc and instead takes us behind the curtain to see how Fred Rogers navigated the cultural and social issues of the second half of the twentieth century with his own brand of forward-thinking, compassionate wisdom far beyond his time,” commented Focus chairman Peter Kujawski. “Mister Rogers makes us all want to be better people, and we couldn’t be more proud to be a part of telling his story today.”
“The Fred Rogers I discovered making this film is at once comfortably familiar and completely surprising. I believe Mister Rogers is the kind of voice we need to hear right now,” said director Morgan Neville. “I am thrilled to work with Focus Features on taking this film out into the world, along with my collaborators at Impact Partners and Independent Lens.”
“This is Morgan’s fourth film with Independent Lens, following our Emmy Award-winning collaboration on Best of Enemies,” said Lois Vossen, Independent Lens Executive Producer. "His beautiful new film shows us just how cool Mister Rogers was and how relevant and vital his voice is right now.”
Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is produced by Morgan Neville, Caryn Capotosto and Nicholas Ma and is a production of Tremolo Productions in association with Impact Partners and Independent Lens / PBS. The deal was negotiated by Endeavor Content and Judith Karfiol on behalf of the filmmakers.

Cinemaquette Presents: Gatekeeper Crab Pre-Order
"Origin" represents the combination of imaginary and authentic animals from nature.
This style of art from David Zhou presents a virtual animal world, following the concept of "The Origin of Species." By continuing to add more animals from exotic lands, skies and oceans, we will explore a rich world with their lifestyle and environmental roles.
David Zhou is a traditional animal sculptor and designer of imaginary animals who lives in Shanghai with his family.
Origin: Caving Volume II
Species: Gatekeeper Crab
The Gatekeeper crab lives in the rocks and caves that are naturally formed at a 30- to 200-meter-deep seawater environment. Its body is composed of head, chest, abdomen and tail, and its color base is lavender. The backside rear edge and claws have yellow stripes, and the head is long and narrow and has an inverted triangle shape. Their chest is thick and well-developed. The abdomen has a caudal spine, where there are three to four pairs of barbs that can help Gatekeeper Crab go deep into the cave.
They have four pairs of claws, among which one pair is huge and can firmly block off the entrance of a cave, earning its name as a Gatekeeper. Their bright colors can also play a warning role. The second and third pairs of claws are very sturdy and are equipped with bent fingertips and hooks, so that they can firmly fix to the cave, and cannot be sucked out by large predators. The last pair of claws is evolved as small chelate. There are two small holes on his head shield, via which the crabs can eject the mucus to capture the small fish and shrimp that swim across them.
Gatekeeper crabs have to exuviate for more than twenty times from baby crabs to adulthood. Baby crabs are very fragile, with a very low survival rate.
Peripatetic Walnut Crab
The carapace of the Peripatetic Walnut Crab looks like a round nutlet, with the protrusion evenly distributed.
They are the nomads of the sea, mainly feeding on the algae and plankton in the shallow sea. Though its paraeiopod is not strong enough for long-distance travel, when necessary small airbags can be formed inside its body to make it float along the ocean currents.
Specifications:
- Approximately 9.8 inches in height.
- Approximately 9.1 inches in width.
- Approximately 7.1 inches in depth.
- Exquisitely detailed paint.
- Caving Themed Ceramics Ring
- Limited in production to 199 units worldwide.
Each piece is signed by Artist David Zhou under the base.
