With each project, The Perkins team creates a title for the series. They just wrapped up ‘The Nantahala Retreat’ and are currently publishing videos in a new series called ‘Building a Mountain Cabin.’ Each episode is in chronological order and plays like a TV show. Fans often revisit previous series as one would rewatch a season of a Netflix or Hulu show.
