New Farming Reality Television Series looking for Interested Farmers in Ontario
InverseCinematics an independent television production company is putting together a new show proposal and is looking for Ontario farmers who might be interested in taking part. It is a documentary reality series following the day to day life of the Canadian farmer. Think Discovery's "Deadliest Catch" or History's "Ice Road Truckers". We have already gotten great response from the farmers around Canada (We have had lots of interest from farms in Alberta, BC and Manitoba but we're still trying to get the word out to the eastern provinces) the public, television people and the media. We have been featured in The Western Producer and on CBC radio One in Winnipeg. We are excited to put together a solid proposal with great subjects.
The Farm
Canadian farmers endure the daily battle with high input costs, low selling prices, pests, weeds and unpredictable weather to survive, and produce something bigger than themselves, Our food.

Very few consumers know how their food gets from the ground to their plate, nor all the hard work that got it in the ground to begin with. Recently there has been growing intrest in buying local: trying to put a face to the farmers that are producing our food. By following several different and distinct farming operations viewers will learn about where and how food is made in this country while getting a peek into the lives of the very people working to provide for not only their families, but communities, and for some a whole country. We will experience the ups and downs of food production and life on "The Farm".
Canada has many different types of farmers and farming operations across it's great span. We aim to show a cross section of those farming operations not only to show how the types of farming differ, but how things are different or similiar across our country: A Southern Alberta cattle ranch, a Saskatchewan grain operation, a Manitoba intensive animal operation, a mixed Ontario farm and a Quebec dairy, are just a few examples of what might be showcased. We will follow these farmers, their families and hired hands though the ins and outs of farm life, in their day to day activies. From seeding to harvest, calving to sale day. From 4H and gymkhana, the local rodeo and farmers markets, to helping out a neighbour in a time of need. From untimely equipment breakdowns, fires, accidents, animal disease outbreaks, no rain, too much rain, to large bank loans and threats of going under. Farming is stressful. Farming is hard. Farming is life

Right now we are looking for anyone who might be interested in such a project. We are finding possible subjects around Canada, which will then be written into a pitch. We will be taking that pitch to several networks this winter and if that goes well, we will be working on getting the actually filming started next spring. So if you or someone you know might be interested, please get in contact with us. We'd love to hear from you!
Thanks,
