Freak in the Sheets
In production
An all-access sports documentary about one of the most unexpected battlegrounds in modern competition: Microsoft Excel. Each year, the best spreadsheet minds from around the globe gather to battle it out in a high-octane, formula-fueled showdown in Las Vegas to determine who will be the Excel World Champion. Celebrating obsession, talent, and the universal hunger to be the best at something, Freak in the Sheets brings out the quirks, rituals, rivalries, and nerves of competition—but through a lens of warmth and genuine admiration. Because once you see Excel the way they do, you’ll never look at a spreadsheet the same way again.
