Masterchef Australia winner Brent Owens to shoot new
food and travel series in SA
Brent Owens, the popular winner of Masterchef Australia
2014 and author of the bestselling cook book Dig
In, is due to travel to South Africa in the next fortnight to start
filming a new food and adventure television series titled Brent Owens Unwrapped … South Africa.
Created and produced by content creation company,
Oxyg3n Media, the 13 x 24 minute series will capitalise on Owens' love for
travel, food and adrenalin during his trip through South Africa. Owens will
explore local cuisine, learning from those that have crafted these home-grown
dishes; digging into aspects of South African history; uncovering fascinating
personal stories from locals he meets along the way; and delving into little
known areas of the country to expose them to an international audience. And
because Brent loves adventure, it wouldn’t right if he didn’t experience some
of South Africa’s adrenalin sports.
Says Oxyg3n Media's CEO and Executive Producer,
Rebecca Fuller-Campbell: "We are very excited to be working with the
talented Brent Owens and we believe the show's unique concept will make it a
fascinating, informative and entertaining series for local and international
viewers."
Says Owens: "I'm absolutely pumped to get back
over to South Africa and start filming the series. The country has so much to
offer and it's so exciting that I get the opportunity to show it off to the
world. A hidden gem with endless culinary adventures."
Brent Owens Unwrapped
South Africa will
be shown locally on a soon-to-be announced DStv channel with worldwide distribution
handled by Beyond Distribution.
