Extra: WorkShop links with B.Bold, PBS gets MacArthur funds

Philadelphia-based indie The WorkShop has launched a joint venture production unit with New York firm B.Bold Content Studios to co-develop multi-platform unscripted content for both the U.S. and international markets ahead of this week’s Realscreen Summit in Washington DC.

B.Bold will be headed by Benjamin Ringe, who previously worked alongside WorkShop CEO and executive producer Tom Farrell at Banyan Productions. Most recently, Ringe served as senior VP of development and executive producer at NBC’s Peacock Productions, where he was charged with generating and developing multi-platform, factual content for NBCUniversal’s properties and outside clients.
