Filmmaker Brandy Yanchyk has a new documentary she is producing, co-writing and co-directing with Tammara Soma Ph.D.

It's about the healing power of food and it will air on CBC next summer.

Here's some behind the scenes photos from their filming in Lake Louise, Calgary and Exshaw in Alberta this summer.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Right now the working title is "Sustaining Food".

This is Brandy Yanchyk’s second film project with Dr. Tammara Soma.

Dr. Tammara Soma is an award-winning food scholar, educator, a mother of three children and a Muslim Canadian woman born in West Java Indonesia. She is an Assistant Professor who teaches food systems planning and the Research Director of the Food Systems Lab at the School of Resource andEnvironmental Management at Simon Fraser University. The Food Systems Lab is widely recognized for being an innovative women led research lab in Canada. She is also a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and is the first and only hijabi Professor at Simon Fraser University.

Filmmaker Brandy Yanchyk is in the “Land of the Midnight Sun”.

She flew to Inuvik in the Northwest Territories on Canadian North Airlines to film the Great Northern Arts Festival.

It’s the longest running festival of Arctic art and music in North America.

The Great Northern Arts Festival has been held on the lands of the Gwich’in and Inuvialuit people since 1989.

Six new episodes of Brandy Yanchyk’s travel documentary series “Seeing Canada” are now airing on CPAC TV and PBS channels.

Check your local listings to watch the programs.

Here are the episode descriptions for Seeing Canada season three.

Brandy Yanchyk is in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia attending the Travel Media Association of Canada annual conference which includes leaders in travel media and the travel industry.

During the conference Brandy will meet with tourism departments and PR agencies who will introduce her to travel stories in their regions. These pitches will hopefully come to fruition in new episodes of Brandy’s travel series “Seeing Canada” and “Seeing the USA”.

It was so wonderful when the famous Bluenose II greeted us in Yarmouth.

“Bluenose came to symbolize Nova Scotia's prominence in the fishing and shipbuilding industries. She represented Canada around the world. In 1933, Bluenose appeared at the Century of Progress World's Fair in Chicago, and sailed to England's Silver Jubilee of King George V in 1935.”

500 media from around the world attended IPW in Orlando, Florida in early June and I was one of them.

I met with tourism destinations from across the USA. I was pitching to make new episodes of my travel series Seeing the USA!

U.S. Travel Association's IPW showcases U.S. suppliers of USA travel products and destinations, and attracts international and domestic travel buyers and journalists representing more than 70 countries.

IPW 2022 included 4600 attendees, 1200 international delegates and 500 media.

It takes a team to SELL my travel series "Seeing Canada".
Today I had a great meeting with my distributor Flame about season three of "Seeing Canada".

The first two seasons are airing on Prime Video.

Please show my series "Seeing Canada" some love on Amazon Prime by giving it some stars or comments. Prime Video loves when viewers engage and this will help to keep the series on the network.

"Seeing Canada" has also aired on CPAC (Cable Public Affairs Channel), Ethiopian Airlines, Air Canada, WestJet, AV Jet International, Crackle Plus, TUBI TV, Halhara Finances, MX Media and Entertainment, Spafax and Golden Eagle Entertainment.

Season three of "Seeing Canada" will be airing on public TV stations in the USA including PBS in June.

Season three of my travel documentary series Seeing Canada!

I learned so much making this new series and ate some seriously delicious food.

This new Seeing Canada series connects viewers to Canada’s culinary scene, nature, diversity of cultures, Indigenous tourism, Black History and Southwestern Ontario's connection to the Underground Railroad.

To see the descriptions of the new six episodes please go to my website here: https://brandyyanchyk.com/seeing-canada-s3

If I filmed with you and you are not in these episodes you will be in season four which will come out in early 2023! I was a busy lady filming this year so I am doing two new seasons which is very exciting.

We are in post production now and the series will start airing at the end of June on public TV stations in the USA including PBS just in time for Canada Day which is July 1st.

The series will air in lots of other places in the future and I will update you as it all happens.
