A local production company is rolling out the red carpet November 26 in Oliver to premiere its lifestyle television series featuring a season in B.C.’s wine industry.

The series, “Ventures in Wine Country”, follows three local wineries to tell a ‘vine to glass’ account of a season of winemaking in the South Okanagan.

“We’re very excited to share our work with local audiences,” says series creator and producer, Kenton Gilchrist of Asymetriq Productions Inc. “It’s an incredible opportunity for the wine industry in the valley and we hope everyone will want to be a part of it.”

Gilchrist secured funding from a corporate sponsor to produce three more episodes in the series – work that he says will take the new production company well into the New Year.

The series has also garnered attention from Vancouver and Los Angeles distribution companies which would allow the first season to be sold to cable networks in Canada upon its completion.

Before the feature, they will also play a special screening of “Anxious Oswald Greene,” a short film for which Gilchrist and Hunwick did an award-winning musical score and post-production. The film also won a record 13 Leo Awards in May, and has been the official selection at two dozen film festivals globally. It won Best Short Award at Whistler International Film Festival and at the L.A. Comedy Festival.

The double feature presentation begins at 7 p.m. at the Oliver Theatre, November 26. Tickets are $5 in advance and are available by calling 250-498-2277 or 778-928-7848, or are $8 at the door.
