Operation Unplugged Awarded the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund!

HLP+Partners, in association with Smiley Guy Studios are thrilled to be among the winners of the coveted Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund.
The Digital Media component to the six part television series for Travel + Escape will roll out in phases, including the casting website which has been a resounding success in finding the series participants. The next phase of the online project will roll-out concurrent with production this August and then transition into a fully interactive multi-platform experience when the show premieres on Travel + Escape in early 2012.

Operation Unplugged is HLP+Partners riveting new six part, one hour docu-adventure series premiering on Travel + Escape channel in early 2012.  The show takes eight of the most self-proclaimed techno-dependent Canadians, strips them of their devices and unplugs them from their network. Then, they are plunged into a challenge-based adventure led by Host Alan Bishop, through Canada’s breathtaking National Parks and National Historic Sites.

The program is being produced with the generous support of Parks Canada, Glassbox Media and Via Rail.
