Lindsay and Martin won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2012 for their first film, Undefeated. In 2017, their film LA92 was awarded the Primetime Emmy for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking.

Quibi, started by Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman, is scheduled to launch April 6. Quibi has raised more than $1 billion from investors including the Hollywood studios, in order to create bite-sized content people can watch on their phones.

A subscription will cost $5 a month with ads or $8 a month without ads.
