TORONTO – Blue Ant International is bolstering its factual slate with the addition of its latest series, The Weapon Hunter.
Produced by Toronto-based Cream Productions, the six-part series was developed with U.S. partner Smithsonian Channel and is a coproduction with Smithsonian Channel Canada.
The series follows the exploits of Paul Shull as he goes on a one-man mission to find, fix and fire the antique weapons that shaped the modern world. Shull taps into a global network of history obsessed collectors who have spent decades – and small fortunes – amassing military collections that rival those found in any museum. Now, they’re opening their doors to allow Shull the once-in-a-lifetime chance to come face to face with the past.
“The Weapon Hunter aligns perfectly with our factual catalogue, which is packed with history, science, space programming, as well as HD and 4K natural history content,” said SVP Solange Attwood, in the news release. “We are thrilled to work with Cream Productions on the worldwide distribution of this title.”
