Olympics themed 6 x 9 web-series The Power of the Dream, created by Alexandra Keddie and Bobbie-Jean Henning, will launch this July, just in time for the games.
The comedy mockumentary follows the quest of two athletically challenged cousins trying to fulfill their Olympic dream, and was conceived when Keddie planned to attend an adult gymnastics class.
“Bobbie thought that was an absolutely terrible idea,” she told If. “Considering I have flimsy ankles and weak limbs.
“I was like ‘No, no, I was really good at gymnastics when I was in grade five and not much has changed so it’s going to be fine’.
“She said she’ll support me all the way to the Olympics, so we workshopped this idea of the coach and athlete situation.
“We were excited about the idea of what the Olympics actually looks like if we had a real, normal person trying to do these things.
