Jason Priestley Interview for Amazon Creative Galaxy
I attended a premiere screening for Amazon original children’s series "Creative Galaxy". After the screening I was able to meet with creator Angela Santomero, the entire Creative Galaxy team and special guest star Jason Priestley, who voices one of the characters in the series.
Note: I was invited as media to this event. Any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.
Creative Galaxy (for preschool-aged children) is from acclaimed creator Angela Santomero and Out of the Blue (Super Why!, Blue’s Clues, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood), and features Samantha Bee (The Daily Show), Christian Distefano, Jason Jones (The Daily Show), Cloris Leachman (Malcolm in the Middle), and Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills 90210).
After viewing a few episodes, I spoke with Jason about his role in the series and what it means to him as a parent. Jason shared how as a parent he loves the idea of encouraging kids to be creative and artistic. He also shared that "Creative Galaxy" is a series that parents can sit and enjoy with their children.
Jason plays the character Mr. Pencil in the series and for parents who grew up watching he play Brandon Walsh on "Beverly Hills, 90210", you'll be surprised by some humorous reference to the show when his character is on screen. I wont ruin the surprise, you'll have to watch and find out.
As a parent I was impressed with not only the creative story telling of "Creative Galaxy" but also the live project segments. During the segment we watched kids create an arts and crafts projects that kids at home could follow along and also make.
Which is exactly what my son and other kids did after the screening. The kids were able to make a star lantern and draw and color. My son enjoyed being creative and I'm all in support of that.
If you also support creativity in children, then you'll enjoy viewing "Creative Galaxy".
