Flights of a Coast Dog & Coast Dogs Don’t Lie Bundle by Jack Schofield

Author, Jack Schofield has written an eight one-hour episode screenplay drama series using the true events from these two award winning titles coupled with a compelling and romantic drama. Filming location is in the beautiful Broughton Archipelago area of the BC Coast.

The series screenplay is seeking interest from a Canadian Broadcaster in order to garner development funding from The Canadian Media Fund (CMF) or Telefilm Canada, or perhaps from some Canadian Aerospace organization happy to see Beavers, Single and Twin Otters and BC’s Aviation industry at large, gaining high exposure nation-wide.

Schofield is seeking members from our industry whose clout could bring attention to a long awaited public awareness of the coastal aviation story!

Coast Dogs Don’t Lie

Here you will find tall tales and true as told by the seaplane pilots who flew British Columbia’s rugged coast on what was called the North Coast Sched. It really didn’t go to the north coast but just as far from its base at Campbell River as it could travel and get home before night fall, and scheduled was a misnomer—it just got there when it got there. From the recollections of veteran coast dog Jack Schofield stories like the one of the logger who fired up his chain saw in flight with the intention of bucking off the plane’s tail and how about the dog who rode the pontoon on the way to the next stop or the pilot who was helped off a sandbar by four nude ladies—colourful anecdotes and colourful characters told from the pilot’s seat as you fly up the B.C. coast.

Flights of a Coast Dog – A Pilot’s Log

As a seaplane pilot-or coast dog-Jack Schofield flew British Columbia’s rugged and hazardous coast for twenty years. A natural story-teller, Schofield relates fascinating anecdotes about the colourful characters who crossed his path, including loggers, fishermen, tourists and Native residents who were adventurers and dreamers, entrepreneurs and eccentrics, all attracted to life on an isolated float camp or in remote communities, and describes the triumphs and tragedies of their lives.
