The first episode premieres on July 17, on AMI-tv and WPBS at 6 p.m .Saskatchewan time. A private screening event takes place today in Saskatoon.
The series stars Ron Walsh, a blind adventurer who aims to inspire not only other blind and visually impaired people, but also sighted people to push past their comfort zones and explore the wonders of our province, and the world. The show also features Ashlyn George, also known as the “Lost Girls Guide”. In 2015 George was Saskatchewan’s official travel blogger and online personality. From hikes, sailing, camping, and skiing, there’s no challenge that these adventurers won’t tackle.
“This series is a testament to our industry's exciting growth, as well as to the amazing skills of our Saskatchewan crew and talent, working in some of the most vast and expansive locations the province has to offer!” says Anthony Townsend, executive producer with Thomega Entertainment Inc.
“This series is a homegrown Sask. adventure from start to finish.”
The show was made possible thanks to funding from Creative Saskatchewan’s Feature Film and Television Production Grant.
“We support productions that demonstrate a solid return on our investment for the province,” says Erin Dean, CEO of Creative Saskatchewan.
“This show is anticipated to result in over $1 million in positive economic outputs for Saskatchewan. Not only is this show inspiring to watch, but it’s providing lots of economic activity and jobs.”
