Synopsis
New York is a city that never stops. Amid the constant noise, we often lose touch with what truly matters. Park Buzz’N invites us to reconnect with nature, our community, and ourselves through a vibrant series that explores the transformative power of parks while celebrating the multicultural environments of NYC. The premise is simple: we go for a walk, starting in Central Park and traveling through parks across the city, treating each location as a distinct episode with its own atmosphere, mystery, and hidden history.
We made Park Buzz’N for anyone trying to catch their breath in the city; whether you’re raising a family here, have lived in the neighborhood for decades, or just want to spend a Saturday somewhere a bit greener. If you care about local history, wellness, and actually noticing the streets you walk down every day, this show is for you.
Behind the scenes, the show is driven by our core team: Melisa Ramos, Cionin Lorenzo, and Belén Orsini, all proud NYWIFT members united by a shared commitment to grounded, honest storytelling. At the center of it all is creator, writer, producer, and host Rhina Valentín. Picture an afternoon riding the historic carousel at Willowbrook Park or catching the sun hit the East River from Astoria. In every episode, Rhina reminds us that well-being doesn’t have to be complicated; it is about reconnecting with our environment. The rhythm of drums on a Sunday, a tree breaking through the concrete, or the afternoon light into simple, everyday ways to reset and regain daily balance.
This is a human, diverse, and direct proposal that celebrates public parks as natural community sanctuaries. We are seeking production backing and strategic resources to bring the full series to life, beginning with our pilot episode in Central Park. If you are looking for a television project with purpose, momentum, and a clear vision, join us now.
Thank you for your time. Learning to see and hear what is nearby is the foundation of any change. Let’s talk to bring to life this reality.
