Restoration Projects needed for new documentary series

#1 Post by kateowen »

Have you bitten off more than you can chew with your restoration? Is it taking an age, draining your finances, or causing strife at home?
"What restorations don't" we hear you say?! But if you are in need of help, a new television series looking to come to the aid of restorers whose projects are causing a sever headache. Drop kate.owen@indusfilms.com a line to find out more.

Hmmm - I know just the fella you need to speak to - surely a Neon would make great TV??

Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

Very interesting to see some of their previous work - much of it serious documentaries for the BBC.

Based on that, I hope it's not going to be like a repeat of the disastrous Classic Car Rescue on Channel 5 - Car SOS from National Geographic was much better.

Kate - I suggest you read these topics to get an idea what we don't want to see

Searching the Indus site and found this

Kate Owen
Development Researcher
Having only recently graduated from Newport Film School after studying Documentary Film and Television, Kate is the newbie at Indus; however with a penchant for everything outdoors including mountaineering, surfing, trekking and cycling, she’s fitting in well. In the past, Kate has been lucky enough to have had adventures that have taken her from the deserts of North Africa to the summit of Mt Blanc and now to the development office here in Cardiff. Kate’s experience in television is limited as this is one of her first trips into the professional world and up until now she has worked as a Location Assistant on films such as War Horse, Clash of the Titans and Harry Potter. She now works at Indus in the development team helping to generate, research and create new programme ideas.

:lol:
I don't know Rich, so I'll be polite and ask the woman herself:

Kate, do you own an example of the finest ever Japanese classic - the Datsun Micra (K10) from the 1980s or early '90s? :D

I would think some of the responses to this thread will deter Kate from having anything else to do with this forum.
