WELCOME

Greetings

My group and I are looking for an Executive Producer, Partner/Investor, with funds or access to funding, who would be interested in being part of an exciting International Exploration Travel Extreme Adventure Underwater TV Series, "UNDERWATER ODYSSEY". It is important to note that this is not just a "Niche" show, demographic research showed that about 85% of the viewers of The Scuba World TV Series were "not divers" they were "high subject interest" viewers.

This is a basic introduction of my business plan as it is now developed. There are, as you know, many ways a series can be produced, and syndicated. There is very possibly, a chance it would be taken up by a network, and paid for, however I am counting on the probability of syndicating it myself through a barter arrangement to several different networks and keeping half the commercial time. This is a successful paradigm, which worked when producing "The Scuba World Television Series" for 6 years with Third Coast Productions, and shows like the old Mutual of Omaha’s "Wild Kingdom", and "The Extremists".

Carriers like The AQUA TELEVISION NETWORK, ABC Family Channel, The Travel Channel, HD Net, ESPN, OLN, The Water Channel, and other networks, plus selected broadcast stations, will give us the households we need to sell our commercial time. We have plenty of interest from destinations to host us, dive gear manufacturers to support us, and usually have no problem getting airlines to carry us.

In the business plan I have outlined 5 areas the series will generate sales from, and we plan to produce other series as soon as possible. I.E. a sister series, " The Outdoor Camera", can be done very quickly, piggyback, which will feature a well-known outdoor photographer each week.

Business plan sales departments:

1. Advertising Commercial time sales, and "Branding" features.
2. Ancillary production sales, documentary and movie production (we have scripts)
3. Domestic and International Syndication, and Distribution.
4. Yearly "Swimsuit Issue/Calendar Special".
5. Internet Sales.

In return for the investment of $250,000 for a full 20% partnership (or better, the full $450,000 for up to 40 points) I am committed to producing a series which will be significantly better than any of its type produced before, or any being done now. I would like to produce the series for about 10 years, and then retire, leaving behind a solid production company, and relinquishing a larger share to my initial partners and investors. The type of commitment my team and I plan to put into this series is rare. The show will be spectacular, and fun to do, but my single primary goal is to make money for my company, and my investors. I will be bottom line focused.

Please let me know if there is some way we can work together to do this series, or if I can help you in any way. Call me at any time with any questions you may have, and if you want to see the business plan.

Thank you for your interest.

Thirty minutes of underwater exploring travel and adventure.

UNDERWATER ODYSSEY will be a HD TV production, with spectacular scenes, a fast paced informative, intelligent adventure series featuring extreme sport diving, the ecology and an occasional "X-Files" episode where we search for mythical and legendary creatures, and places. Expert divers who will bring you a weekly series about exhilarating diving destinations all over our planet ocean. Tropical paradise destinations, inland waterways, caves, wrecks and the frigid waters of our northern seas will be our subjects. We will feature top celebrities and fresh new faces each week as we explore our planet Ocean.

"Underwater Odyssey" will bring to your home regular features about photography, videography, equipment, diving skills, natural phenomena, the ecology, exploration and archeology from locations all over the world. Shows designed to expose you to the entire experience of diving and our planet's mysterious underwater realm.

Ambergris Caye diving

Captain Morgan’s Cave: Just offshore of Ambergris Caye Belize, and possessed of a sometimes deadly tidal current, this cave has never been filmed, and is said to empty into the crocodile infested lagoon behind the islands beaches.

Papua New Guinea divingAdventure

Australia Great Barrier Reef diving

Australia: Clear waters, tremendous variety of sea life, dangerous fish, snakes, shells, octopus, jellyfish, sharks, salt-water crocodiles, Aussie waters have it all, and more.

Treasure diving

treasure , underwater

Peru Mystery lakes

Peru: Several large very deep lakes located high in the mountains have legends regarding sunken cities, fabulous treasures, and clues to past cultures that defy explanation. Deep High Altitude diving is high tech at its most exacting, and the most over the top adventure possible.

Fernando de Noronha Bay of Dolphins

The spinner dolphin is common to the waters of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil, and most famous for its acrobatic displays.

Some have been seen completing 14 spinning jumps one after another.
Franando de Noronha: 240 miles off the NE coast of Brazil lies the island of "The Bay of Dolphins" Franando de Noronha is one of the most beautiful and historical islands in the Americas. The watery grave of the first shipwreck in the Americas, clear waters teeming with fish undisturbed by large numbers of tourists, and with an area that inexplicably literally swarms with sometimes thousands of dolphins, we will explore the island and the mystery of why so many cetaceans come to this island to meet.

This is only a sample of the hundreds of exciting dives, exotic locations, and informative adventures we will bring you on "UNDERWATER ODYSSEY".

Yearly "Specials" include: "Aqua Angels Calendar Shoot"
