NEW PILOT FLIES ON OLN – Featuring Sandcastle Theory Co-hosted by front-man Kal Mollison
TORONTO (Canada) – January 11, 2005 – Peace Point Entertainment Group Inc., a Toronto-based independent television producer, is pleased to announce that its newest TV show, Barnstormers, will debut in Canada, Friday, February 4th at 9pm ET, on Outdoor Life Network (OLN). The one-hour pilot episode follows the real life adventures of pilots Michelle Goodeve and Kal Mollison as they barnstorm their way across Canada in two rare antique biplanes.
Actress and screenwriter, Michelle Goodeve, best known as teacher Ms. Avery on the original hit TV show, Degrassi, is also a long-time pilot who has flown antique airplanes since she was a teenager. Co-star, Kal Mollison, lead singer of the popular Canadian rock band, Sandcastle Theory, isa former pilot and a longtime friend of Goodeve. Up until the pilot episode, Mollison had dropped out of flying after the traumatic Air Show death of pilot, Carey Moore, who was a close friend to both Kal and Michelle.
In the future coast-to-coast series, stories will unfold as Kal and Michelle land in farmer's fields, on unpaved back roads, and even on the roof-tops of abandoned buildings. Dropping in (literally) on rarely visited towns and villages across the Canadian landscape, the show will explore these vast open spaces and the cast of characters that inhabit them.
"OLN is pleased to continue its long-standing relationship with Peace Point Productions", said AnnaStambolic, Director of OLN: "'Barnstormers' is an entertaining and informative program, combining the thrill of aviation with the natural beauty of the Canadian landscape."
I know this is a rather spontaneous announcement, but hey...that's show biz, eh (grin)! If you don't catch the show tonight, don't sweat it: "Barnstormers" will be airing on OLN, several times over the next couple months. So tune in when you can...and, if you like what you see, don't hesitate to let the network know (wink). Thanks.
Due to certain unforeseen immigration delays, Sandcastle Theory's MEANY FEST showcase and NYC club dates have been temporarily postponed. These dates will be rescheduled as soon as possible, so please stay tuned...updates will be posted on the shows page. Sorry for the inconvenience.
