Australian distributor Broken Arrow Media has partnered with Alan Fletcher from BOS Films and US Producer Really Epic Dog, to distribute their highly acclaimed factual-travel series Photo Number 6.
This partnership follows Broken Arrow’s continued expansion into factual, lifestyle and entertainment content, building on the growth of their traditional sports magazine and factual library.
The program is hosted by Alan Fletcher, most well-known for his portrayal of Dr. Karl in the long running Australian scripted series Neighbours.
Alan Fletcher’s Photo Number 6 is more than just getting off the bus and taking a few snaps. In every episode, Fletcher seeks out five travel experiences that go beyond the tourist guidebook and delves into the heart and soul of the places he visits.
The challenge set in each episode is to photograph five separate locations, looking to choose just one photo that sums up that experience. Then with the help of the director and crew, Fletcher must go back and choose just one photo to represent the emotions, the geography, the feeling and the human connections he has made across all five experiences into one iconic shot – he calls that “Photo Number 6”.
“Photo Number 6 has given me the rare opportunity to explore the globe and have many truly life-changing encounters. Simply put, this show is my dream come true,” said Fletcher.
Broken Arrow Media General Manager Mike Aldrich also commented: “It is a truly engaging format that takes the viewer on a journey with real purpose. Alan’s passion and curiosity for the places he visits and the photographs he captures really jumps off the screen. The reaction on Facebook and Instagram since premiering on Network Ten Australia has been incredibly supportive and we look forward to introducing the program to viewers around the world.”
Social networking service Instagram currently attracts over 800 million subscribers who have posted 40 billion photos since its launch in 2010. Powerful camera phones are encouraging a new generation of budding photographers to seek out knowledge to capture a moment or event with precision and artistic flare.
This regeneration of the art form has seen growth in camera sales and accessories world-wide. Alan Fletcher’s Photo Number 6 reflects this trend in a fun, informative and educational way that will be enjoyed by people of all ages.
The series is produced by Mezzanine Films and airs on Network Ten Australia.
