In January 2010, Participant Media co-presented director Mark Lewis' documentary, "Cane Toads: The Conquest" at the Sundance Film Festival. The film, according to "Daily Variety" said, was the "first specialty doc filmed in digital 3D." A month later, Bonnie Stylides left Summit Entertainment to become Participant's Senior Vice-President of Business Affairs. The studio's hit documentary, "Waiting for "Superman"", garnered media acclaim, and Participant inked a worldwide distribution deal with Paramount shortly before its premiere at Sundance. It also sold North American distribution rights for its documentary, "Countdown to Zero", to Magnolia Pictures, and distribution rights to its documentary "Climate of Change" to Tribeca Film (a division of Robert De Niro's Tribeca Enterprises).
