FINGERS CROSSED!

Fingers crossed

Ahem, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that:

Tomorrow, September 6th we are submitting our new proposal to Global Television. If Global likes our pitch and comes on board with the project then things could role forward quickly and the film would get made and made well. We’re talking serious production funding and a broadcast premier on one of Canada’s major television channels.

The ‘stream’ we’re aiming for is called Global Currents, it’s Global’s new current affairs documentary strand. You can read more about them here:

www.canada.com/global/globalcurrents/index.html

For the past two months the bulk of our energy has gone into researching and writing this new proposal and no matter what Global replies we are much further along then we have ever been.

So, keep your fingers crossed that they like our submission. It really is the best option of producing Fixing Capitalism at the level that it should be!

Oh, and ummm…. I’m moving to Alberta for a bit!

I’ve been offered a day job on a new show for the Discovery Channel so I’ll be moving to Cold Lake, Alberta for a bit to make some money. I will still be working on Fixing from online and my wonderful partners will be taking over the direct affairs while I am away. O, and our awesome new web team will be re-rigging the website to harness the full potential of the inter-nets.

Funny, I know. I have to take a break from Fixing Capitalism to pay off my student loan. Oh, the irony.

The show is about seven young men in fighter pilot school in Cold Lake. Lots of technical info about the planes and POV shots from the pilots Point of View. I’m going to be their Field PA. The pay is good and I’m going to learn A LOT about production.

………………………

Funny, trying to change a system while having to participate inside of it. Our submission to Global is entertaining, engaging, and educational… but probably not as radical as I would have liked it to be, but we want this to get this on TV and in front of as many eyeballs as possible… so we have to make it digestible for the broadcaster and the viewer.

And then there is the pressing reality of my student loan, which requires me to work all fall.

Not sure what I’m trying to say there. It’s funny that’s all. Reality. At the end of the day Capitalism is still making the world go round, if we want to prosper we have to keep dancing to its tune.

You can dance any way you want, but you got to dance!

It’s either that or go live in the woods and eat berries.

Ummmmm… berries.

Peace and luck

Adam
