The Philanthropist

Production Taking Action

Welcome to The Philanthropist
June 24, 12:15 PM

So this is it. The premiere is finally here. Once or twice in a lifetime (if you're lucky) you get to submerge yourself in something that not only pays the bills but fully satisfies the soul. Reminds you of why you do what you do. Why you got into it in the first place. Well, THE PHILANTHROPIST is one of those.

 

It's been a year-long odyssey that has taken me and my family, cast and crew to some of the most beautiful and exotic locations in the world; from the market places of MOZAMBIQUE, the jungles of PORT ST. JOHNS to PRAGUE and beyond. And all to tell the tale of a rich man who's become a drug addict, but in this case the drug is doing good for others. Given this moment in time, it's the perfect project at the perfect time. What a great way to spend a year! Really hope you all enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it. It comes from a genuine place and I really hope that comes through. One perfect example is the "Returning to Khayelitsha" video posted right here on our site. Check it out if you want a real taste of what I'm talking about.

 

 

We also will be providing you links to organizations and resources that have a direct and effective impact on the issues dealt with in our episodes. In this production blog, we'll have experts participating weekly, giving you a chance to ask questions and learn more about how to effect change on several issues that we touch on within the series. 

 

Either way, I hope you enjoy and are moved by this and I look forward to hearing your reactions.

 

Cheers,
Peter Horton
Executive Producer & Director
