The year-old factual indie Zeppelin Films, founded by former Love Productions executive and BBC Commissioning Editor Elliot Reed, has secured two further commissions from 5STAR.<\/p>\n
Zeppelin Films has won its second commission, the brand-new two-part series Marrying My Sugardaddy<\/em> (working title), for 5STAR which will follow couples in relationships built on financial needs and with an age gap who have made a commitment to each other and are planning their wedding. Zeppelin Films has also secured its first returning series, Rich Kids Go Homeless<\/em>, for 5STAR.<\/p>\n Channel 5 Commissioner Denise Seneviratne has ordered another six hour-long episodes in which a wealthy young person with negative views of homeless people will live on the streets with nothing but a sleeping bag and prove they can get back on their feet again in only a few days. The first season aired in April 2019.<\/p>\n Both series are in production, and Zeppelin Films is currently casting for stories and characters. Reed will executive produce both.<\/p>\n Reed, managing director of Zeppelin Films, said: \u201cWe\u2019re pleased to be making a second series about an incredibly pressing issue in Britain. Austerity and cuts to services continue to drive a worsening homelessness crisis. The new series will confront young people\u2019s misconceptions, challenge their views in an immersive situation, and change the way they think about homelessness\u2014and possibly themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n Reed added: \u201cZeppelin Films was launched to make thought-provoking formats and documentaries and has been commissioned to produce 22 hours of television in year one. Both these new series offer the audience a different view of life, following people from contrasting ends of the age and wealth gap.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The year-old factual indie Zeppelin Films, founded by former Love Productions executive and BBC Commissioning Editor Elliot Reed, has secured two further commissions from 5STAR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":14153,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2409,4725,4726,3555],"class_list":["post-14152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-5star","tag-marrying-my-sugardaddy","tag-rich-kids-go-homeless","tag-zeppelin-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
