The Eyes Films Second Season Of Hit Series 'Campus Vets' At The Western
College Of Veterinary Medicine

The reality-based veterinary series, which aired on Life Network in 2004,
has been renewed for a second season. The award-winning series began
filming 13 new half-hour episodes at the Western College of Veterinary
Medicine (WCVM), University of Saskatchewan, when classes began in August.
The new episodes will begin airing in March 2005.

"The first season's episodes started playing in January 2004, and since the
regular season finished, the show airs several times a week in reruns,"
series producer Stan Feingold of Vancouver-based The Eyes Project
Development Corporation said. "It's one of their top-rated shows, which
makes us very happy."

This summer, Campus Vets won a 2004 LEO Award for the "best information
series" at the British Columbia film industry's annual awards show. It was
also a nominee at the 2004 Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival.

"Campus Vets helps to raise awareness of what veterinary medicine is all
about," Dean Dr. Charles Rhodes said. "It also showcases WCVM's advanced
equipment like its magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine and its new
computed tomography (CT) scanner."

The series is the brainchild of The Eyes president Blair Reekie and
chronicles the real-life experiences of WCVM veterinary students. Every
show includes four or five stories, and each has its own diverse cast of
animals, clients and veterinarians. "Enthusiastic feedback from dozens of
Canadians shows that they are interested in watching people learn how to
work as a team to save these animals' lives or to improve their health,"
Feingold explains. "

"Our hospital director, Dr. Stan Rubin and his assistant directors view each
episode for medical accuracy," Rhodes continued. "Campus Vets is more than
entertainment: it's also informative. The Eyes team produces a series that
has medical integrity and entertainment value. I think that's why this show
continues to be so successful."

Established in 1964, the Western College of Veterinary Medicine enrolls 365
undergraduates and graduates each year and has earned a reputation as one of
the top veterinary colleges in North America. The College's accreditation
was renewed in March 2004, receiving the highest level, a seven-year award,
due to its funding and capital plans.
