We're delighted to announce that the hugely inspirational adventurer, author and motivational speaker Darren Edwards has joined the Wolfsong fold. Over the past few years Darren has been forging his path as one of the UK's leading disabled adventurers, after suffering a near-fatal climbing accident, which left him permanently paralysed from the chest down. Refusing to let his life be defined by his injury and medical prognosis, he battled back with determination, grit and resilience to achieve things many thought impossible for an individual with a high-level Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Having read Darren's self-published memoir Strength Through Adversity and seen one of his inspirational talks, we knew we had to work with him and we're beyond excited that he said yes! Welcome to the team, Darren and we look forward to collaborating on many adventures in the years ahead.
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.
