Apple Struck ad exclusive deal with Imagine Entertainment's documentary unit founded by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer to produce a slate of feature documentaries and docuseries.

Imagine — whose past forays into nonfiction filmmaking include the National Geographic hybrid docuseries Mars and Breakthrough, as well as the feature doc The Beatles: Eight Days a Week (which was acquired by Hulu) — is currently producing the documentary series She the People, with Sarah Jones, and the documentary Dads, which Bryce Dallas Howard is producing.

The longtime Imagine partners launched their new documentary unit last June, bringing on Justin Wilkes, the former president of RadicalMedia, to serve as its president, as well as former HBO exec Sara Bernstein as its executive vp.

At present, Imagine is working on the docu-series 'She the People,' featuring actress-playwright Sarah Jones traveling the country to examine issues of sex and power for women. Actor Bryce Dallas Howard is at work on 'Dads' (our cover graphic), a feature doc that aims to take a humorous look at fatherhood in the modern era.
