PASSION DISTRIBUTION CARVES OUT PRIMETIME SLOTS FOR TIMBER KINGS AND ALL NEW CARVER KINGS
London, 24th September 2014 - Passion Distribution is excited to announce the launch of brand new factual entertainment series CARVER KINGS (14 x 30’) from award-winning Canadian producers Paperny Entertainment. The series sits alongside TIMBER KINGS (24 x 60’) the hit series which has secured multiple major international sales including Discovery and Destination America in the U.S.
CARVER KINGS follows a whole new crew of elite chainsaw experts as they create extraordinary custom pieces for clients who live in stunning log homes. These experienced craftsmen can literally make anything out of wood—from life-sized grizzly bears to saunas and timber gazebos. They are some of the best carvers in the world, but with near impossible deadlines, last minute changes and work yard egos, a lot can go wrong.
Passion expects CARVER KINGS to follow in the footsteps of TIMBER KINGS. TIMBER KINGS follows the best log builders on the planet as they hand-craft stunning homes for the rich and famous all over the world. Every day is a challenge for the extended family behind Pioneer Log Homes where even the most routine task can spell instant death when you’re tossing around 4000lb logs. TIMBER KINGS is the #1 series ever to air on HGTV Canada and rated as the #1 show of the day for 4 straight weeks on Destination America in the U.S. Passion will be bringing an additional TIMBER KING’S special to MIPCOM (1 x 60’).
Passion Distribution’s Head of Global Sales, Elin Thomas, said “Factual entertainment series such as Timber Kings continue to be primetime ratings hits across the world. We are delighted to add Carver Kings to our portfolio ahead of MIPCOM providing our international buyers with even more quality content for their schedules."
