BRUNSWICK, Maine — Teagan Wright of Brunswick always has his eye on a target. Usually it’s when he’s shooting a hundred arrows every morning, but recently his focus has been on his newest television project.
“Nothing has been more important to me in a career or work aspect than this project,” he said.
Wright is working on an adventure docu-series all about Maine.
“I live with them, work with them side by side to just get a better idea of who they are, their lives and their lifestyles.”
Wright’s been working on the idea since last summer. He’s shot 25 hours of footage just for the trailer. However, he says he needs the community to help him raise the rest of the money he needs to complete six episodes of the series.
Wright launched a Kickstarter, hoping to raise $35,000.
“That’s not a small amount of money at all, but it is the sort of ‘white knuckle’ amount that I need to get this series done in a way that I feel good about.”
Working in television is nothing new for Wright. He lived in Los Angeles for several years working behind the scenes in reality television. Recently he’s stepped in front of the camera, on a national TV show ” HouseSmarts” and starring in an HP commercial.
His hope is that he’ll raise the money and then get the show picked up by Netflix of Hulu.
In a best-case scenario, Wright will expand the show to include other states. For now, though, he says he wants to focus on the state he calls home and inspire others to love it as much as he does.
“Traveling is really learning,” Wright said. “You travel somewhere, you learn about their ways, and I just think that makes people closer and just care for each other more.”
