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.

My screenplay invited to sunny California. It promises to buy me a tshirt and write me a postcard
My crime comedy screenplay (working title F.o.G., inspired by the book ICED: The Story of Organized Crime in Canada) has been invited to L.A. (well OK Universal City) to participate in the National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP) Media Market. My producers (lulo films and Lumanity Productions) will meet with various funders, dealmakers, distributors etc. to secure interest and support for the project. My bag is packed if they suddenly need the writer to come down.
