“We wanted to get a little deeper under the skin of the participants this time around,” series producer Breda Walsh told IFTN. “We had a very high calibre of directors and crew on board for the series and each one is beautifully shot, they give a great insight into these people, who truly live and breathe their passions. For each episode we just used three crew member-one cameraperson, one person on sound and the director, and they managed to capture some amazing footage.”
