INNOVATIVE WINE DOCUMENTARY TO BEGIN FILMING FEBRUARY 9TH
Supported by Tourism-New Zealand, The WINERAM Experience is a 10 part documentary web-series traveling New Zealand whilst experiencing each location’s unique culture, natural beauty, activities and adventure sports through a visit to every wine region in the country!
This is a new way of seeing the world and experiencing unique destinations, all the while exploring the most popular wine regions throughout the world. The WINERAM Experience will change the way the wine industry is perceived, and create a new and approachable discourse about wine amongst the younger demographic.
Traditionally the wine industry has been viewed as being dominated exclusively by an older demographic. This documentary web-series explores why the fastest growing consumers of wine and the Generation Y demographic can enjoy, understand and embrace the industry through adventure and travel.
The first season of the documentary web-series will focus on traveling through the wine regions of New Zealand, and seeing the island country’s natural beauty. The WINERAM Experience will highlight New Zealand’s unique culture andKiwiani flavor. The episodes will feature New Zealand winemakers, professional athletes and New Zealand celebrities to help further engage a Kiwi audience while also promoting international tourism.
The documentary crew consists of sommelier to New Zealand’s most awarded wine list, as the Producer and Presenter, Colin West, award winning director James Holman and Director of Photography, Rupert Critchley; is utilizing the popularity of KickStarter.com as a platform to gain awareness for funding, sponsorship, and media distribution. The WINERAM Experience’s official trailer is currently available for viewing at Kickstater.com, through February 16th.
Set to begin filming on February 9th, the team will travel to the most southern vines in the world, in the adrenaline capitol of the southern hemisphere, Queenstown, New Zealand. This township also plays host to the famous Central Otago wine region.
The crew will actively document every wine region in the country, while seeking out adventure-sports activities along the way. This new and innovative approach to wine education will open the doors to all legal age groups, genders and walks of life.
The dedicated and experienced team will fully produce 10 episodes of action, adventure, culture and wine.
