MUMBAI: Bomanbridge Media has closed a content deal with the Times Group for ‘Disaster DIY’ (26 ½ hours) series. The Singapore-based production and distribution agency has also sealed a deal with LiTV SE for Asian pan regional distribution of ‘Open House Overhaul’. ‘Disaster DIY’ follows Do-It-Yourselfers who have failed at their home renovation project and who are in desperate need of some on the job training. That’s when contractor Bryan Baeumler comes in to save the family from their renovation nightmare. In each episode, Bryan teaches DIY-ers how to fix their mistakes properly and safely with his humour. With words of encouragement, Bryan is able to transform the DIY-er from handyman disaster to hero. With narratives from the DIY-er along with their family and friends, viewers will learn how to avoid dangerous shortcuts and how to troubleshoot their own home renovation. Incidentally, Times Group recently launched a real estate channel Magicbricks Now. It also has English entertainment channel Romedy Now. Bomanbridge Media CEO Sonia Fleck said, “Bomanbridge is a well-known distributor of premium factual entertainment programming in the Asian region. We are pleased to bring two entertaining and educational home improvement shows to air. Strong character-led series can give channels real brand identity as well as offer effective advertising opportunities. Asia’s real estate boom is quite extraordinary, so these DIY series are perfect for the region.” ‘Open House Overhaul’ sees viewers join Samantha Pynn, a self-proclaimed open house junkie and designer who spends her weekends visiting open houses on the hunt for a hidden gem. What drives Pynn nuts is the potential in almost every house she tours. Yet, so many people try to sell a house in desperate need of an overhaul. From heinous wallpaper, to outdated colours, to stained couches and nasty carpets, sellers show their properties in states that undermine their value. In each episode of ‘Open House Overhaul’, Pynn and her crew ambush an unsuspecting seller poised to show their home. She offers to overhaul their home and increase its value in time for their next open house.
