UK-based production company Tiger Aspect Productions is developing a series on ships for a major cable network, and we're in search of die hard boaters who might host our new series. The ideal candidate would be a credible "insider", think Discovery's "Future Weapons", or History Channel's " Cities of the Underworld ." It's not necessarily a veteran historian we're looking for, but rather a true passionate fanatic of boats and maritime history who can help communicate this passion to our audience. We're particularly interested in candidates with real-world boating/ shipping experience - i.e. a former captain from a naval fleet, or freight cargo ship, or other industrial boats.
The show is in development, but the idea would be to travel around the country/ world and get up close and personal with the past, present, and future of ships. From ice breakers in the Arctic to the biggest cruise liners sailing the Caribbean, to Oil tankers cruising the Persian Gulf. The series is mainly interested in the business of boats and ships, the industrial side of the maritime world as opposed to recreational boating.
If you or a friend fit the description above, please send me an email at : hillary.levine@imgworld.com. Please tell me about yourself, your passion for boating and where it's taken to you. What's your unique take on ships? And make sure to send in a picture of yourself, any websites, video you might have.
