Television, film, and theater section

Hello! I am here with a few revisions to the content that was recently implemented. I am pinging Valorrr here, in case you're interested in taking a look at this request!

The first sentence in the Television, film, and theater subsection conflates the feature and documentary films. Could we clarify the distinction with the following instead (citing the same source that's used in the live article)?:

As of 2022, Wexler co-produced and co-directed Unfinished Business, an NFL documentary film about Keith Adams and the Riverside Cubs, an all-deaf high school football championship team, and was producing a related feature film for MGM's Orion Pictures after acquiring the exclusive life rights to the Adams family story.

The second paragraph in the same section, mentions that Wexler produced Soul Superhero and Grace. These projects have only been announced, not completed. Could we update the current sentence with these more accurate statements?:

In 2021, Variety reported that Wexler was the producer on the Westbrook Studios film "Soul Superhero". The next year, The Hollywood Reporter reported that he was the producer and co-writer for a film from Walt Disney Pictures called "Grace".^[1]^[2]

Finally, this is quite a small copy edit, but I think adding the word also in the following sentence could make this section flow a bit better:

Wexler created Nickelodeon’s first ever original series made for YouTube, Kid Cowboy. Wexler also served as one of the principal composers alongside co-executive producer Emilio Estefan.

Because of my COI, I do not edit the article directly. Let me know what you think, and if you have any questions! Cheers, BINK Robin (talk) 15:09, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If the bold is removed, I'd be fine with it. Valorrr ^{(lets chat)} 19:21, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Valorrr, absolutely, that was just to make it easier to see where the change is. Would you like to implement the changes? If you'd prefer I do, that's fine, just always want to make sure and get a Go Ahead before I do. Thanks! BINK Robin (talk) 15:53, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
