Time Traveler Productions began principal photography on June 15th of the APTN one-hour television pilot The Time Traveler. The production team: creator/writer/director Richard Story; producer Kent Sobey; co-producer Sandra Edmunds; and executive producer Lorne Cardinal will shoot The Time Traveler on location throughout Toronto on the revolutionary RED Camera. The production team is taking an innovative approach to making quality television:

“This is a TV show made by indie filmmakers in an indie spirit,” says director Richard Story, “We’re using a smaller crew, minimal equipment and natural light. We’re also using new actors – a lot of new faces.” Producer Kent Sobey says, “We’re going for a show that looks great and is visually distinctive and Richard is very good at that.”

It is the year 3012. Thanks largely to the practices and wisdom of indigenous cultures, humans have finally learned to live in harmony with the environment. In some ways humans have attained a utopian society. But despite this, and despite fantastic scientific advances, the human race has become an endangered species: a mysterious flaw in human DNA has caused widespread, encroaching infertility. However, a small, renegade group of people have discovered the one solution to this devastating problem disappeared from earth over a thousand years ago. Luckily, time-travel is possible in this amazing future, but there is a catch: time-travel is illegal, forbidden, and punishable by death.

Nevertheless, a brave young woman named Nikki (played by Elitsa Bako) decides to travel back in time to find a rare strand of DNA that will save her dying world. In present day Toronto, she meets Jackson, a free-spirited urban-Aboriginal guy who is down on his luck (played by Meegwun Fairbrother). Nikki and Jackson really click and she is able to convince him that she’s from the future and that she needs his help. Together they set out – joined by Jackson’s cousin from the Rez. As she searches for the mysterious, life-saving DNA, Nikki discovers that she was not the only time-traveler who beamed to Toronto on this day—she’s being followed—and she quickly discovers that she is a pawn in a sinister game and her life is in danger. In order to save her people, she has to save herself.
