BEACHWOOD STUDIOS COMPLETES SIX TV SERIES

Beachwood Studios is completing production and post production on six television series, representing 127 half-hour episodes scheduled for the 2005-2006 season.

Its creative team is in the final stages of production on two 5-part Workshops for the DIY Network. Ready As She Grows and Ready As He Grows transform a boy’s bedroom and a girl’s bedroom to keep them current as a child grows up, from infancy through college. Beachwood Studios’ production manager created a generic bedroom on one of the Company’s in-house stages, where room renovations were demonstrated step-by-step. The production team also went on-location to capture sound bites from parents, children, and child development experts. The how-to series, hosted by Jack Hourigan, will air nationally in 2006.

Beachwood Studios has also provided production and post-production services for five other series in 2005: Hands On Crafts for Kids (one 13-show season), Scrapbook Memories (two 13-show seasons), America Sews (two 13-show seasons), America Quilts (two 13-show seasons), and Beads, Baubles and Jewels (two 13-show seasons). These programs will be distributed via the National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA), which specializes in the distribution of how-to and lifestyle shows. They will air on public television stations throughout the country as well as the Family Net cable network.
