It’s been a busy summer for GMarsh TV shooting two new pre-school observational documentary series which are coming out on RTÉjr next Monday 19th October.
In ‘Our Seaside’ Johnny Lynn and his sisters (6) Anna (4) Katy (2) baby Sarah, mum and dad, live right beside the sea in Killala at the tip of North Mayo. With the shore as their back garden, the family enjoy all sorts of seaside adventures. Each of the fifteen episodes explores different fun things to at the seaside, from foraging cockles for dinner to roasting marshmallows at a beach campfire.
The second series, ‘Out and About’ features the Doyle family who also featured in the 2014 RTÉjr series ‘Our Farm’ – which is up for nomination in this year’s IFTA’s in the Children and Young Peoples’ category.
Where ‘Our Farm’ followed the day to day activities of Liam, Deirbhle, Ailbhe and Féilim around the family farm, this new series takes young viewers further afield as we follow the children on daytrips and field trips –from handling birds of prey to picking fruit for baking; this gentle observational documentary series really delves into the heart of rural family life and sibling fun.
All three series were filmed and directed by Paula Rouse and edited by Craig Speer. Gillian Marsh is the Executive Producer with Egg taking care of the Post Production.
