LOS ANGELES, CA— Wilshire Productions, a premium TV, film and media production company has announced the launch of a new original documentary series, the Olympian. Created and produced by Shantal Anderson, the executive producer and owner of Wilshire Productions, the project will focus on the importance of diversity and differences in achievement levels for athletes all over the world.  Also, it will feature the behind the scenes of Rio De Janiero's culture, the staff and the 50,000 volunteers who fly all over the world to partake in the international phenomenon.

The eight thirty-minutes episode docu-series will be aired on a VOD (Video on Demand) Platform, thereby allowing viewers to watch at their convenience.

 

“An Olympian to me is not just a competitive athlete, but someone who possesses the mental strength, heart, passion, and tenacity of a great competitor”, explained Shantal. “Getting a Medal is a honorable achievement, however, knowing that you did your best will last a lifetime.”

 

Having worked on major televised events such as the Oscars, Grammy’s, Billboard Awards, BAFTA Awards and recently the 50th Annual Superbowl held in San Francisco, California, Shantal is keen on capturing the fascinating experiences of athletes to help inspire others, embolden and also motivate them to step out of their comfort zone.

 

"Not only will we capture the unsung athletes from all over the world who are competing in this years games, but also tell the stories of the staff who takes care of all the behind the scenes work, the volunteers who travel from all over the world to lend their services, and the opening ceremony performers who are were casted from all over the country” stated Shantal. “To make the project more thrilling, we will also shed light to the mentors, coaches or contributors who may have helped build and encourage the athlete to prepare for the summer games.”
