Sharknado star Ian Ziering has teamed with Hyperdrive Entertainment, Happy Trails Productions and Synergy Management to develop Festival Crusader with Ian Ziering, an unscripted travel adventure series about the world’s most outrageous festivals.
Festival Crusader would follow Ziering as he travels across America and around the globe to uncover which festivals are all the rage, and discover how the human interaction at these gatherings is so desirable in today’s isolating and increasingly digital environment. The series will track Ziering’s adventures and interactions as he throws himself into festivals of all descriptions – a Viking battle in Norway; a UFO celebration in Roswell; a drenching of rainbow colored dye in India; a pyro festival in Mexico; the annual redneck games in rural Pennsylvania; and more.
The project is currently being shopped, with the team targeting and meeting with a number of Svod cable nets as well as Ott platforms.
