ZOS: Zone of Separation, an 8-hour drama series shot in Canada and Bosnia, for TMN/Movie Central, is slated for broadcast in 2008.
Slated to hit theatres in November 2008: shotting Passchendaele, a sweepingly epic motion picture dedicated to Canadian Soldiers in the first World War, written and directed by Paul Gross
The Perfect Pitch:
Start with a few lines to frame your idea. Convey the essence of the concept without going into to much detail. Premise, characters, setting, tone, etc. If the idea has merit a follow-up meeting will put flesh on the bones. Don't try and pack in too much or read submitted paperwork by rote [but definitely have paperwork in order that will represent the project]. At last year's event - after a successful pitch - we meet with individuals to discuss the project at length, at a later date.
