Recently I have been asked why I haven’t posted on Pop Culture in such a long time. There are lots of reasons, lack of time being the consistently underlying one. As a father of three boys, scrambling to pick up work, often working three different jobs and – with various home and community responsibilities on top of attempting to bootstrap creative projects of my own – I have no time. But that’s a lie. [MORE]
March Break has ended and so I finally have the place to myself (well, except for my sister’s dog we’re looking after while she goes off for a week of skiing in Whistler with her husband – sigh).

Pop Culture: (The Game of) LIFE
My producing partners and I recently received Cogeco development funding for my SciFi comedy webseries, Women Are From Mars. We are currently applying to the IPF for production funding and the more views of our trailer we receive the greater our likelihood of getting funding.
Please check out our short trailer here, laugh and share:

Check out the short teaser for our proposed comedy series about a dysfunctional PTA, Parental Advisory. Written by Christopher Sweeney. Directed by Jaime Escallon Buraglia. Click here to be directed to our 7 minute bravoFACT short, Parental Advisory: Disciplinary Measures
Pleased to announce our comedy series, Parental Advisory, selected to participate in Phase II of the NSI Totally Television program. Further training, attendance at the Banff Television Festival and pitching networks to come.
The bravoFACT comedy short I wrote, Parental Advisory: Disciplinary Measures, is now live on the bravoFACT website. This short acts as a proof of concept and mini pilot for the comedy series I am developing with Jaime Escallon-Burgalia through the 2014 NSI TotallyTV program.
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.
