+ DIRECTOR DAVID ROUSSEAU RESTARTS PRODUCTION ON A LANDMARK TRAVEL DOCUSERIES

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Feb 07, 2022 (AB Digital via COMTEX) -- MIAMI, FLORIDA - Although NATPE Miami 2022 was cancelled Director David Rousseau of Rousseau Studios and Show-runner of Vargo International. Aspen Powers continues to move forward with its landmark docuseries Travelpolitans in addition to accessing just over 55% percent in film tax credits and other incentives. The series is being shot with a straight to series production with all 14 episodes of the first season debuting all at once. David Rousseau is directing with Rousseau Studios and TrueNorth is handling physical co-production of the series, with Vargo overseeing domestic, international distribution and streaming rights.

Vargo International is currently accepting offers for the first season will debut on a television network later this year. In 2019, production was halted due to the account of COVID-19, however, today the production is now COVID Compliant and is moving forward with production and are pitching a few televisions networks at the RealScreen Summit LITE 2022. People are really yearning for a return to travel exploration and more importantly bounding with others. "We are so thrilled to get this show into production this year,” says series director David Rousseau.

The official description of this television series is a critical adventure made-up of seven strangers as they travel from America to Iceland to dispel The Great American Passport Myth. What’s The Great American Passport Myth? According to the U.S. Department of State approximately 64% of Americans do not have passports; and Aspen Powers has created a business that encourages people to travel internationally as he firmly beliefs that traveling internationally changes you. Some of his referred clients have a second chance at life or have received a grim prognosis and want to travel as their last rite of passage. He wholeheartedly believes in being a traveler and not a tourist and that travel changes you. He curates immersive tailored experiences that are built around exploratory themes of food, culture, and people. He fearlessly embarks on unexpected challenges along the way that take him and his clients out of their comfort zones.

So, what’s with this word Travelpolitan? Simply take the word Cosmopolitan and replace the Cosmo with Travel and you get Travelpolitan; and the definition of Travelpolitan is a person that travels frequently and feels comfortable and at ease in many different places and cultures. “This is not your average travel show and serves as an authentic way that offers the viewing audience life-changing knowledge that connects them to empowering bespoke activities that are designed to inspire people to travel. The diverse breakout cast participates in excursions that are not usually found in brochures where they receive insider access, see historically epic places, try new foods, learn the history and culture of the country, unexpectedly meet influential people, and to live like a local resident” says Aspen Powers who serves as the Host, Executive Producer and Creator.

This series is hosted by Aspen Powers and will shed light on through a host narrative as the audience takes a journey through the lives of the cast as they embark on an incredible journey to become travelers while simultaneously trying to avoid being a tourist. From the beginning the docuseries each cast member’s story unfold with timeless and realistic issues that many viewers can relate to. All the production companies are remaining tight-lipped about their celebrity, political, artistic cameo appearances that are sprinkled through Season One.

Traveling is something that many people would like to do, however, very few do travel. Travelpolitans is a world that most people are unfamiliar with, and this television series gives viewers unprecedented access to life as a Travelpolitan, which makes it feel dynamic, easy, and fast-paced and pushes relational and cultural conversations that allow the cast to explore the thematic cultural empathy shared by the cast. Stories unfold from each member of the cast residence to a personally uncharted foreign land and the audience will constantly discover something new with incredibly important stories that is told by an extraordinary producing team.

+ VARGO MEDIA MOVES ITS HEADQUARTERS TO STAMFORD, CT

Stamford, CT – July 16, 2018 - We are excited to announce that our headquarters is moving to a new location in Stamford, Connecticut. We’ve spent the previous three years in New Haven, Connecticut - our old office served us well, and we’ve made a lot of progress and also made great memories there, but we are more than thrilled about our new space as we move to our new headquarters in Stamford at WorkPoint. This is Phase One of our expansion with phase two establishing an office in Miami, Florida and Reykjavik, Iceland upon the completion of our upcoming financing through a $15 Million Private Placement for Accredited Investors which funds the Company’s expansion, working capital for productions and more says Aspen Powers, CEO and Founder.

The new office is actually located in the Shippan Landing business park area on the waterfront in Stamford, which is just minutes away from the Stamford Union Train Station and the Stamford Mall. We're excited about the hustle and bustle happening around us with many other great companies in our new neighborhood. We are gearing up for production of our current television series entitled Travelpolitans and really need the space for current and new employees.

While we were happy with our space in New Haven but there were several motivating factors to make a move such as:

Space. The new office offers more square footage, but more importantly it has more conference rooms and event space which features a deck and water views. The space also includes two multipurpose rooms in an adjacent building that each hold up to 96 people and can be utilized for our private screenings (as research for our television shows), conferences or seminars.

Production. We now have access to a state-of-the-art 1000 square foot multi-camera HD studio to create content for a variety of needs and is also perfect for photo shoots and special effects. The control room is equipped with a Tricaster switcher that includes the Skype package and virtual sets, and full two-way hybrid audio with a 32 channel mixer. Kino Flo lighting, audio and lighting boards round out the facility. Our production clients will also benefit from full global connectivity via LTN, internet or satellite on our site.

Amenities. What a difference a space makes. Our last office was within immediate walking distance of Yale University, Yale Hospital, many restaurants, three hotels and coffeeshops. The new headquarters has a full kitchen, gym access, walking trails and much more.

This space allows us to continue creating and delivering dynamic content that garners attention and drives action. Starting August 3rd, 2018, our new address is Shippan Landing, WorkPoint, 290 Harbor Drive, Stamford, CT 06902.

+ VARGO MEDIA & DIRECTOR DAVID ROUSSEAU BEGINS TV PRODUCTION ON A LANDMARK TRAVEL DOCU-SERIES

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 21, 2018, MIAMI, FLORIDA - Director David Rousseau of CreativeSeen and Show-runner of Vargo Media Aspen Powers begin production on an original unscripted television travel docu-series titled Travelpolitans, with 13 episodes with a runtime of sixty minutes. Both production companies remain tight-lipped about the celebrity cameo appearances, its distribution to a TV broadcast network, air dates in international territories.

Travelpolitans, is being filmed in multiple cities such as New Haven, Connecticut; Miami, Florida; New York City, and in the countries of Iceland, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark) which chronicles the excursions of an American travel blogger turned travelpreneur (i.e. tour operator) named Aspen Powers. As a rookie tour guide, Powers takes a travel group with him from America to Iceland, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark to dispel the Great American Passport Myth and to have awe inspiring cultural experiences in amazing places. What’s The Great American Passport Myth? According to the U.S. Department of State 64% of Americans do not have passports. Aspen Powers has started a personal crusade to be an influencer of change and agrees with a quote from Mark Twain which is “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” Filming begins in March of 2018 and at the beginning of April for Scandinavia.

What are Travelpolitans? They are group of people that travel frequently and feel comfortable and at ease in many different places and cultures. “This new travel docuseries serves as an educator of destination inspiration for people to travel to curate unique travel experiences that are sometimes not found in brochures, see historically epic places, immerse themselves in different cultures, make unexpected friends and lovers, and to live like a local” says Aspen Powers who serves as the Host, Executive Producer and Creator. It’s through the host narrative that the audience gets a look into the lives of real people who embark on a journey to become a professional tourist. From the beginning of each cast members journey, the audience gets watch just how they all handle being in foreign countries in different situations and then apply all things learned (both good or bad) to our own lives. With technology our world has gotten smaller, but our ability to interact with others face to face has suffered greatly. This show challenges young adults to put down their smart phones and experience real life outside of social media says David Rousseau, Director.

Travelpolitans has timeless issues that viewers can relate to that are very realistic and this is what makes it such a great show. Traveling is something that many people would like to do, however, very few actually do travel. Travelpolitans is a world that most people are unfamiliar with and this television series gives viewers unprecedented access to life as wanna-be professional tourists, which makes it feel dynamic, easy and fast-paced and also pushes relational and cultural conversations that allow them to explore the “fish out of water” themes shared by our cast. From the change of the cast home locations to uncharted foreign lands that bring out the worst and the best of them as they seek to become a Travelpolitan. The audience will constantly discover something new in this series, including enriched cameo appearances throughout the season by political figures, athletes, music artists, celebrities, travel industry influencers and travel bloggers who are brought in as special travel guides whom provide a range of tour activities for the cast.

Travelpolitans is a crash course in traveling abroad and Travelpolitans isn’t the only reality show educating our behavior. As they do so, they realize that these “moments” offer incredibly potent case studies for what to do and what not to do when traveling abroad. This docuseries is directed by David Rousseau the Miami based director known for “his eye capturing sleek imagery, bright colors and innovative graphics,” thus making him “one of today’s most sought-after directors. His work that he’s directed has been viewed over one billion times online, which amounts to six years of directing work for major labels like Sony and Universal whereby he has directed music videos for “Mr. Worldwide” aka Pitbull, Marc Anthony, Christina Aguilera to Shakira and Enrique Iglesia, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Ne-Yo just to name a few. He has been nominated five times for an MTV music video award and has directed TV commercials for major brands like Post Cereals, Zumba and television networks such as TNT and ESPN. This production is being managed by TrueNorth the Icelandic film and TV production service company.
