CHEYENNE — A Los Angeles producer is proposing to shoot a television series chronicling the lives of young ski bums pursuing their recreational lifestyle in the resort setting of Jackson Hole.
Robert Hickey of Better Wings Entertainment described the show, called “Epic,” as a dramatic comedy with actors and scripted scenes that incorporates elements of documentary.
“They’re in their early 20s, they’re kind of that prototypical ski bum, although I don’t like that word so much, but they’re trying to pursue a lifestyle of skiing and doing the recreational thing that they like doing,” Hickey said. “What I’m interested is in terms of that age in our lives when we’re 22 and 23 years old and trying to figure out, ‘What are we going to do with our lives?’ “
Wink Inc. production company in Jackson is working with Hickey to develop and pitch the project, said Jason Winkler, owner and chief executive of the company. Wink would provide much of the production backbone for the project if it came together. The Associated Press
