While an undergraduate student at USC, Leon served as an intern at CBS in Program Development while still in college. While there, he had the opportunity to sit in during the development of hit series such as “Mash” and “The Waltons.” After spending two years in the Graduate Filmmaking Program at USC, Leon was able to land the position of Coordinator of Program Planning at ABC, which was the number one network in television at the time with shows such as “Happy Days”, “Three’s Company,” and “Family” on the air. Leon served as an assistant in Scheduling and Promotion to legendary Network President, Fred Silverman and was trained in current programming by Brandon Tartikoff, then a young programming executive at the network. At the age of 24, Leon was the youngest member of ABC’s management team. Shortly after he left ABC to become the President of NBC Television, Silverman and Tartikoff invited Leon to join them in Comedy Program Development at NBC. During his time at the network, Leon was involved with the creation of long-time NBC hits, “Different Strokes” and “The Facts of Life.” Leaving NBC, Leon moved to Paramount Television, where he eventually became Executive Director of Comedy Development, supervising all the programming in that area. Among the many shows Leon had a hand in developing while at Paramount was the ABC hit “Webster.” He also, personally, created the hit series, “Duet,” which ran on the Fox Broadcasting Company for four years. Soon thereafter, Leon reunited with his former mentor, Fred Silverman, becoming Vice President Programming for The Silverman Company. During his tenure there, he helped it become one of the most prolific suppliers of one-hour television dramas of the era, producing “Matlock,” “Diagnosis: Murder,” “In the Heat of the Night” and “The Perry Mason Mystery Movies,” among others during that period. He also expanded its reach into the television movie area while supervising all its new series development. Soon thereafter, Leon left the Silverman Company to go to work for two more of his former bosses from his ABC days, Tony Thomopoulos and Gus Lucas, as Vice President Programming at The Family Channel, which soon became Fox Family. As the number two executive at the network, Leon played a large role in helping The Family Channel and Fox Family become the fastest growing cable network of its time. He supervised all of its original programming, its entire production and development staff, and well as much of its on-air promotion and scheduling. (more) HALLMARK CHANNEL/’I DO, I DO, I DO’ – Production Bios – Page 3 During that period, Fox Family and The Family Channel produced an average of a dozen Television Movies per year, four hours of original reality and series programming per day, and 30 hours of Specials per year under Leon’s supervision. The network’s ratings increased over 70% during his tenure and the network’s programming achieved significant critical acclaim. Among the movies produced under Leon’s direction at were “The Ditchdigger’s Daughters,” which was nominated for The Cable Ace Award for Best Picture, as well as the special effects- laden spectacular, “The Night of the Twisters,” which was the second highest-rated film of the year on Cable Television. Additionally, Leon also supervised the network’s critically acclaimed, two-hour daily talk and information series, “Home and Family” as well as the Cable Ace Award-Winning series of Comedy Specials, “The Beef.” Following his tenure at Fox Family, Leon built Collaborative Artists into one of the most influential management companies in the teen and young adult talent areas, placing a number of its clients on television series and in features. Additionally, Collaborative Artists represented a number of the industry’s top writers and directors including Jimmy White, who wrote the Academy Award nominated film, RAY. Most recently, Mr. Leon has returned to his television production and development roots and is developing both series and television movies for cable. His television movie, “Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade,” premiered on the Hallmark Channel during the 2012 holiday season while his talk series, “Home & Family,” a revised version of the one that aired under his aegis at Fox Family, was recently picked up for its 3rd season. It airs two hours a day, five days a week, on Hallmark Channel. ### SHAWN WILLIAMSON (Executive Producer) – With over 25 years of entertainment experience, Shawn Williamson has risen to the forefront of the Canadian film and television industry as leading independent film and television producer.

Suddenly the power goes out; no one knows why. No electricity, no gasoline. Their solar power system isn’t working. Over the following days, the radio reports a thousand theories: technical breakdowns, terrorism, disease and uncontrolled violence across the continent. Then, one day, the radio stops broadcasting. Absolute silence. Step by ominous step, everything that Nell, a would-be academic, and Eva, a hard working contemporary dancer, have come to rely on is stripped away: parental protection, information, food, safety, friends, lovers, music -- all gone. They are faced with a world where rumor is the only guide, trust is a scarce commodity, gas is king and loneliness is excruciating. To battle starvation, invasion and despair, Nell and Eva fall deeper into a primitive life that tests their endurance and bond. Ultimately, the sisters must work together to survive and learn to discover what the earth will provide.

Introduction 1 In February 2020,1 Bong Joon-ho’s film Parasite made history winning four Academy Awards, including best foreign picture and best picture, awarded for the first time to a non-Anglophone film. After Parasite’s game-changing success, the question of Orientalism in Hollywood has become more layered; perhaps, as Mubarak Altwaiji suggests, working toward the exclusion of countries from the map of the Orient and their inclusion in the imaginary perimeter of Western progress (see 313).2 Yet, as South Korean cinema makes its grand entrance into the persistently white halls of the Academy, Muslim countries remain underrepresented and Muslim characters continue to be heavily stereotyped. Altwaiji goes as far as suggesting that neo-Orientalism of the post 9/11 kind has triggered a re-evaluation of the classic Orient with the “Arab world” and its stereotyping as its center (314).

SHORT SYNOPSIS MOON POINT is the story of Darryl Strozka (Nick McKinlay), a socially awkward and ambitionless 23‐year old who seems destined to live forever with his mother. As his cocky cousin Lars’ wedding approaches, Darryl decides that the best way to prove to his family that he is not quite as worthless as they think he is, is to track down his elementary school crush, now an obscure B‐movie actress shooting a horror film in Moon Point, and bring her to the wedding. Darryl enlists his best friend, known affectionately as Femur (Kyle Mac), and travels hundreds of miles in a wagon hooked onto the back of Femur’s electric wheelchair. On their journey, the boys meet Kristin (Paula Brancati), a sharp, sarcastic young woman who is running away from a relationship back home. Eager to join the boys on their adventure, she begins to realize that love can find you in unlikely places. But naturally, as tends to happen on such a quest, things don’t turn out quite as planned. Along the way, Darryl and his friends get shot at, track a banana to an AA meeting, and are the victims of theft by a karaoke competitor.
