“Station House” editing and looking for a network

In August, we told you about a new reality TV series “Station House” that was filming inside the LaGrave Avenue fire station in Grand Rapids.

Now we know that crews have completed shooting the documentary about the lives of Grand Rapids firefighters.

Jerry Zandstra from American Saga Productions, the Production company behind the project says they have 3 pieces to put together…  first, a promotional piece (which is done)…  a background/demo piece that runs about 6 minutes that they will use to sell the documentary to the networks…. its expected to be finished editing on Friday.
Then, there’s the main piece, the “Station House”, a documentary that runs 90-95 minutes… they hope to have that complete by next month.

Zandstra says they are hoping for a mid-October Premiere for the documentary… and trying to work out something in conjunction with Loeks Theaters for a benefit to raise money for the firefighters.

The “Station House” documentary will be for TV and also released on DVD.

Producers are having initial discussions with multiple broadcast and cable networks, inlcuding CBS, ABC, NBC, Zandstra says FX and Discovery Channel are also “natural fits”.

    I’ve been wondering if this project has been given up on?
