ABOUT

CONCEPT
This brand new lifestyle series followed Masterchef Australia winner Brent Owens as he explored South Africa to discover its beautiful and diverse cultures and terrain. Our brief was to help viewers to experience both the extreme and the authentic as Brent unearthed real food and adventure. He got stuck into the kitchen with some of the country’s most established chefs, finding Sowetan street fare, seafood delicacies, the best city-grown farm produce, traditional Afrikaans comfort food, and the famous South African braai. The viewer was able to follow Brent as he traveled the length of the country, trying out every bit of adventure he could get his hands on, freefalling in Soweto, shark diving in the Western Cape, game drives in Sabi and bungee jumping from Bloukrans. On his journey, Brent revealed the moving, the inspirational, and sometimes bizarre, people and places that make South Africa truly unique.

EXECUTION
As the Producer and storyline developer, I made sure that we covered the diverse range of people & places that South Africa offers. We filmed over a period of 6 weeks to produce the 13 part series.
