RED CROSS AWARD

This year we received the POWER OF HUMANITY Award for our contribution to the “We Answer” campaign at Bear Studios. I want to personally thank the cast & crew for all their hard work ~ we couldn’t have done it without you and it is much appreciated!! Thanks also to Cam & the team at Big House Communications.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

What an amazing year we had in 2008! Telefilm came on board to develop both of our feature film projects, we attended the Toronto, Vancouver and Whistler Film Festivals, and moved all of our projects forward ~ including the multi-media platform for Eco-Chic TV. Stand by for news on the launch!! Looking forward to an exciting and ridiculously successful 2009 ~ for everyone!

The PRAYING MANTIS (back page) is officially in development with the participation of Telefilm Canada. Writer Chris Wilkinson will have the final draft ready in time for pitching at the Toronto International Film Festival! The comedy about a dispirited former crime fighter unprepared for his second chance in the limelight reveals that courage comes in many forms ~ even in green tights!
