Writers' strike throws focus on "Whittaker Bay"
***
Wilmington, N.C., rolls out red carpet for TV drama stars,
H20 Entertainment
and Make-A-Wish Foundation of Eastern North Carolina.
Wilmington, N.C. & Hollywood, Calif. – With scores of scripted primetime TV series shut down by the
Hollywood writers' strike, dramas often overlooked
by programmers and critics – such as H20 Entertainment's "Whittaker Bay" – are receiving long overdue
attention.
The drama,
filmed on location in Wilmington, N.C., was spotlighted – along with one of its
stars, Timothy Woodward Jr. – in the cover story of The Hollywood Reporter
November special issue, Made in America.
Wilmington rolls out the red carpet Dec. 9 for the
world premiere of "Whittaker Bay," set to air beginning Jan.
5, 2008, on
Superstation WGN. The show is also being marketed in 95 countries.
The
cast features twin sisters Kelly and Sabrina Aldridge from MTV's reality
series, "8th & Ocean," and the feature film “Deck the Halls”.
Both will be on hand for the Dec. 9 premiere at historic Thalian Hall in
downtown Wilmington, which will double as a fundraiser for
the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Eastern North Carolina. "Whittaker Bay" is 30-minute drama about four
families – the Bannigans, Visteds, Coles and Hawkins – suburban elitists who
seem to have the perfect life in their coastal North Carolina community.
Reveille International is one of the leading distributors
of innovative and distinctive content from major producers across the
globe. "Our international team is

John Pollak, vice president of International Distribution and Creative Affairs
for Reveille International. “We’re
confident ‘Whittaker Bay’s star-studded cast and powerful drama should raise a
few eyebrows of our clients overseas."
