Everybody who knows Jo will have heard lots and lots about her beloved Irish Setter, Hugo, who has been her constant companion for the past four years. Very sadly, Hugo passed away on February 2nd 2024 after a three month battle with kidney cancer. We are devastated, as not only was Hugo a loving, faithful friend, he was also our resident office dog. Hugo loved manuscript mornings, invading zoom calls, tea (treat) breaks and letting everyone know when it was time to stop working. Life and the Wolfsong office won't be the same without him.
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids - new More4 series
We're thrilled to announce a new ob-doc series from Leeds-based Wise Owl Films following ‘Yorkshire Shepherdess’ Amanda Owen and her family as they renovate a derelict farmhouse. Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids charts the Owens’ journey to breathe life back into a derelict neighbouring property they bought to plan for the family’s future. The series sees Amanda, Clive and their nine children work with a team of local tradespeople to slowly bring their ambitious vision for the farmhouse - known locally as Anty John’s - to life, tackling the changing seasons and challenging elements along the way, as well as getting to grips with the nature of restoring a listed property in a remote location. Cameras also follow Amanda as she digs deep into the farmhouse’s past and reveals the fascinating part its former owners played in local history. The series was commissioned by Channel 4 in a deal secured via Jo Cantello of Wolfsong Media, Amanda Owen's agent. TX dates to be announced soon.
