Nelson filmmaker Amy Bohigian has scored a funding deal to produce six 10-minute episodes of TV sketch comedy about the city.

The series, entitled Southern Interior, will be produced by Bohigian’s company Watershed Productions and a local technical and artistic crew for broadcast online in 2025.

Bohigian says she wants to “celebrate and satirize Nelson.”

Many outsiders are attracted to the uniqueness of Nelson, and she wants to help them satisfy that curiosity and also give them a few laughs.
