  • Paul Haggis's Televisual Oeuvre
    Subverting Stereotypes from London, Ontario to Los Angeles, California: A Review and Analysis of Paul Haggis's Televisual Oeuvre Marsha Ann Tate ABD, Mass Communications Program College of Communications The Pennsylvania State University 115 Carnegie Building University Park, PA 16802 Email: [email protected] Last updated: June 3, 2005 @ 10:08 p.m. Paper presented at the 2005 Film Studies Association of Canada (FSAC) Conference, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada Subverting Stereotypes from London, Ontario to Los Angeles, California -- M. A. Tate 2 Abstract Paul Haggis's recent forays into the feature film milieu have garnered the London, Ontario native widespread critical acclaim. Serving as a co-producer, director, and/or writer for a series of high- profile motion pictures such as Million Dollar Baby and Crash have propelled Haggis to Hollywood's coveted "A list" of directors and writers. Nonetheless, prior to his entrée into feature filmmaking, Mr. Haggis already enjoyed a highly distinguished career as a creator, producer, and writer in the North American television industry. A two-time Emmy Award recipient, Paul Haggis's television oeuvre encompasses an eclectic array of prime time sitcoms and dramas. Starting out as a writer for situation comedies such as Facts of Life and One Day at a Time, Mr. Haggis later moved on to created notable dramas including Due South, EZ Streets, and Family Law. Subversion of widely held stereotypes and showcasing society's myriad moral ambiguities are hallmarks of Haggis's dramatic endeavors in both television and feature films. While the two techniques have helped produce powerful and thought-provoking dramas, on occasion, they also have sparked controversies.

  • Press Kit Falling Angels
    Falling Angels A film by Scott Smith Based on the novel by Barbara Gowdy With Miranda Richardson Callum Keith Rennie Katherine Isabelle RT : 101 minutes 1 Short Synopsis It is 1969 and seventeen year old Lou Field and her sisters are ready for change. Tired of enduring kiddie games to humour a Dad desperate for the occasional shred of family normalcy, the Field house is a place where their Mom’s semi-catatonic state is the result of a tragic event years before they were born. But as the autumn unfolds, life is about to take a turn. This is the year that Lou and her sisters are torn between the lure of the world outside and the claustrophobic world of the Field house that can no longer contain the girls’ restless adolescence. A story of a calamitous family trying to function, Falling Angels is a story populated by beautiful youthful rebels and ill-equipped parents coping with the draw of a world in turmoil beyond the boundaries of home and a manicured lawn. 2 Long Synopsis Treading the fine line between adolescence and adulthood, the Field sisters have all but declared war on their domineering father. Though Jim Field (Genie and Gemini winner Callum Keith Rennie ) runs the family house like a military camp, it’s the three teenaged daughters who really run the show and baby-sit their fragile mother Mary, (Two-time Oscar ® nominee Miranda Richardson) as she quietly sits on the couch and quells her anxiety with whiskey. It’s 1969 and beneath suburbia’s veneer of manicured lawns and rows of bungalows, the world faces explosive social change.

These people settleo .there under the arrangement evidenced by the Haldimand Treaty, so-called, negotiated between them and the British Crown and bearing date October 25th, 1784. and in the reign of the British King George III. The establishing of that settlement commenced immediately thereafter, but was a gradual process, and it was about fifteen years before it took _permanent form in the re-establishment of the Great Council Fire at the Grand River, by which name the federal govern­ ment of these separate nations was known. The separate nations constituting the confederacy were the Mohawks, the Oneidas, the Cayugas, the Onondagas, the Senecas and the Tusnroras. The separate bodies of A~erican ahurigines have in the language of European peoples been calJ'!d .. tribes", probably because in many instances their goverr,m~nts were rudi­ mentary or non-existent, or their number:, very smaH, and in some parts of America the separate hodie.; had no permanent location, being nomadic- and following the migration of their !fclm~ food supplies.

  • Due South and the Canadian Image: Three Perspectives
    Due South and the Canadian image: Three perspectives Marsha Ann Tate Valerie Allen The Pennsylvania State University Last updated: October 19, 2004 2 Due South and the Canadian image: Three perspectives Due South was one of the most successful TV series ever produced in Canada and the first Canadian television show to air on one of the big three American networks in prime time1 (McKay 1997, B7). The program, produced by Alliance Communications, debuted as a telemovie simulcast on CTV in Canada and CBS in the U.S. in April 1994 and was subsequently developed into an hour-long weekly series for broadcast on those same two networks as part of their 1994/95 television season. Despite critical acclaim and respectable ratings Due South 's fortunes were short-lived on American network primetime television. Soon after its debut, Jeff Sagansky, President of CBS Entertainment and the show's primary supporter departed the network. The loss of the show's patron saint at CBS led to frequent preemptions, schedule shuffles, and episodes aired out of sequence (Phillips 1997, A16; Atherton 1995, P7). Due South's cancellation by CBS at the end of the 1994/95 season would mark the first of several “neardeath experiences” (“American graffiti Canadian-style,” 1995, 12). Over the course of several years Due South would be canceled, renewed, and then canceled again by CBS followed by re-funding and renewal without CBS's participation2. It continued as a primetime series on CTV for two more seasons3 and as of January 1999 had been syndicated in 149 territories worldwide including the United States4 (“World Travelers,” 1999).
