A year and a half later and We’re All Gonna Die Season 2 has officially launched on CraveTV. Being a part of a team and reflecting on all the work that went into the final product are some of my favourite and most rewarding parts of this job. The fact that I get to MAKE FILMS… for a living? Is a privilege and honour that never fails to awe and inspire me.
I had the pleasure of joining the team behind the film THE BOY IN THE WOODS this year with editor Robert Swartz, CCE.
We are SO thrilled and delighted and grateful to the Canadian Academy for honouring WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE (EVEN JAY BARUCHEL) with four Screen Awards:
A put-upon worker snaps out of her passive path thanks to a chance encounter with a charismatic busker…
From Nostradamus to the Book of Revelations, we are a species obsessed with our potential extinction. We're perpetually paranoid about cataclysmic events, and yet we're still here—for now. Jay Baruchel dives into our collective fears to dispel (or in some cases verify) the hype and calculate the odds of apocalyptic events, from nuclear Armageddon to a massive asteroid impact.
Have you ever watched a film and thought - WOW! I want to go to that party? There are the traditional films that make use feel like we can’t breathe: Bridesmaids, Eurotrip, American Pies, The Great Gatsby, The Wolf of Wallstreet, etc. etc. etc. I’m interested in the more nuanced, this is a party but there is so much more going on here, type scenes. Here are a few I am going to brag about.
Both are truly such good questions. This blog is going to focus on WHY I decided to join Kelly and Ellen on this fantastical journey. After I had dinner in the summer with Kelly, she sent me all eight scripts. I read them through a couple of times, really trying to understand the characters, motivations and comedy beats. The more I read it, the more I felt like these people were very real.
This past summer, I made a pledge to up my anti and get into scripted content. I took a course a year before at LIFT for Web Series writing. I have written any number of pilot scripts - some which have never seen the light and others that are still in development. I thought tackling the world of short-form writing was a good way for me to stay connected to one story and didn’t tax me too much with my full time job.
A year ago, I discovered The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. After several intense weeks of constant youtube watching, the show was suddenly over and I wanted more. I researched and came across the real production company behind this web series: Pemberly Digital. Okay so maybe I was attracted initially to the Pride and Prejudice reference, but upon further inquiry, I realized that this was a special production house that modernized nineteenth century literary classics into modern and accessible stories.
