Second Installment for Preschool Reality Series

TORONTO: Sinking Ship Entertainment has begun principal photography on The Ocean Room, a 26×11-minute series that follows up the preschool reality hit The Jungle Room.

For six weeks, cameras follows the adventures of seven kids, aged between 3 and 6, who are students at a Scarborough Community Centre. The unscripted series watches the preschoolers as they play and learn. The Ocean Room premieres in September 2009 on TVO, ACCESS Alberta and The Knowledge Network in Canada.

"With The Jungle Room, children at home really responded to watching real kids playing, laughing, singing and yes, even fighting and crying," said Liz Haines, the series co-creator at Sinking Ship Entertainment. "By extension, The Ocean Room will build on that success by introducing viewers at home to a new group of kids and a new whimsical ocean theme."

"We’ve really enjoyed The Jungle Room and are happy to see it evolve into The Ocean Room," commented Pat Ellingson, TVO’s creative head of children’s media, content and programming. "The concept is innovative and unique, and it has provided our young viewers with some interesting and amusing insights to apply to their own social lives."
