Bonne Pioche, the Oscar-winning production team behind
March of the Penguins, are set to make the humorous English-language documentary
Amen Birdmen: Across the Atlantic, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The feature will chronicle a French band's trek toward success across the U.S. Producers Yves Darondeau, Christophe Lioud and Emmanuel Priou and helmer Yannis Mangematin recently have begun tracking the band Amen Birdmen for a year as they tour the states.
The production has garnered unrestricted access to the band's activities as they meet with record executives, publishers and DJs along the way. "In a country where even french fries are ridiculed, does a French rock band even stand a chance?" said Darondeau.
