Landmarks is about places that matter to people. Our stories come alive through people who love where they live.

History builds like sedimentary layers on a river bottom. Landmarks lifts the layers to reveal surprising stories that are entertaining and informative.

The story is always local. Yet the message is universal.

Landmarks is an open-ended tourism and travel series. In 2022/23 we produced five 10-minute Landmarks stories in two small Western Canadian communities – Prince George, B.C. and Fort McMurray, Alberta.

We learned that Landmarks stories are found anywhere. Our stories examined the importance of statues and still waters. Our cameras rode on dinky trains, floatplanes and racing automobiles. We interviewed people from all backgrounds and cultures.

Having proven the concept, Tangerine Productions Ltd. is keen to tell more Landmarks stories wherever a production budget will take us.

Our stories will always be informative and heart-warming. We will celebrate Landmarks with their local residents, while informing a worldwide audience about the meaning of these special places.

Landmarks is an ideal TV and internet series for tourism agencies and travel broadcasters everywhere. Since the series is considered ‘documentary’ it is eligible for Alberta and federal funding that expands the production budget by more than 30 per cent.

A client may choose which Landmarks the production will make stories about. Financial and production details are available for interested parties. Please contact Peter Hays to arrange a meeting soon.

Landmarks season one (2022) is comprised of five 10-minute stories. Two stories are set in the Fort McMurray / Wood Buffalo, Alberta region; and three stories are told in Prince George, B.C.
