Quarter Finalist (so far…)
I’m pleased to announce that the pilot script for Spector and Spectre, the scripted podcast I co-created with the lovely and talented Kimberley Ann Sparks, has been selected as a Top 50 Quarter Finalist in the Roadmap Writers Podcasting Competition. Whoot! S&S is a supernatural co-listening mystery series. It’s always fun working with Kim – and even more fun when we get some recognition. Fingers crossed that we progress to the next level.

NSI Totally Television Bootcamp – Phase One Wrapped
My producing partner Jaime Escallon Buraglia and I had a fantastic week working on our half-hour episodic ensemble TV comedy show, Parental Advisory, with the National Screen Institute Totally Television team. We had the chance to work with a great story editor in Josh Gal and to meet and interact with many people in the Canadian TV industry – from show runners to broadcast executives.
The show is based in the world of a dysfunctional PTA (Parent Teacher Association) and is in the same world as our bravoFACT funded short, Parental Advisory: Disciplinary Measures. You can check out our blog posts from the program here.
We are energized and inspired to work on the project and apply for Phase Two.
Wish us luck.
