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. -

Last Night (1998)
Last Night (1998) Set in Toronto at an unknown date, Last Night tells the story of how a variety of intersecting characters spend their final evening on Earth. It seems the world is to end at midnight (Eastern Standard Time ) as the result of a calamity that is not explained, but which has been expected for several months. There are several scenes of an ominously glowing sun, which gets progressively larger and brighter even into the night. Some people in the film choose to spend their last evening alone, others with loved ones, others in prayer, others in public mayhem, and still others at raucous festivities. The owner of a power company Duncan (David Cronenberg ) spends the majority of his final day calling up every single one of his customers to reassure them that their heating gas will be kept on until the very end. Meanwhile, his wife Sandra (Sandra Oh ) prepares to fulfill their suicide pact when she becomes stranded with a depressed widower Patrick (Don McKellar ) preparing to die while listening to music and drinking wine on his roof, surrounded by mementoes of his recently deceased wife. The widower's best friend Craig (Callum Keith Rennie ) participates in a nearly non- stop sex marathon as he attempts to fulfill every fantasy he has ever had, at one point awkwardly asking Patrick to join him. Sarah Polley appears as Patrick's sister Jennifer; their family chooses to have a final meal together although he leaves prematurely to seek his own finale. Jackie Burroughs makes an appearance as an apparently mentally disturbed woman who jogs around announcing how much time is left before the end. -

'Like an American, but Without a Gun'?: Canadian National Identity
. Volume 17, Issue 2 November 2020 ‘Like an American, but without a gun’?: Canadian national identity and the Kids in the Hall Melissa Beattie, Independent Scholar, USA Abstract: Media representation of national identity can be complex and utilise many potential mechanisms for conveying said identity onto both diegeses and series. This paper analyses the mechanisms by which the corpus of texts produced by comedy troupe the Kids in the Hall (KITH) represents and constructs a Canadian national identity for domestic and foreign audiences. Utilising both textual analysis and audience research, this paper examines the banal diegetic nationalism (Beattie 2017a, b) of the corpus as well as how the Canadianness of the series is perceived. Keywords: Canadian national identity and media, Discursive national identity, Fan studies, Representation, Audiences Introduction and literature review Media representation of national identity can be complex and utilise many potential mechanisms for conveying said identity onto both diegeses and series. This paper analyses the mechanisms by which the corpus of texts produced by comedy troupe the Kids in the Hall (KITH) represents and constructs a Canadian national identity for domestic and foreign audiences. Utilising both textual analysis and audience research, this paper examines the banal diegetic nationalism (Beattie 2017a, b) of the corpus as well as how the Canadianness of the corpus is perceived. This is relevant when viewed in context of Edwardson’s (2008) work on the development of Canadian national identity through its cultural industries. Though his book looks at all of the cultural industries, Edwardson’s negative view of globalisation with regard Page 3 Volume 17, Issue 2 November 2020 to television in particular views the push for transnational television success as leading to the diminishing of Canadian-focused content in favour of what would appeal to a predominantly-American audience. -

WRITER's GUIDE 2004 Season 3
WRITER’S GUIDE 2004 Season 3 Created for Television by Michael Piller & Shawn Piller Based on characters from the Stephen King novel Copyright © 2004 Lions Gate Television. All rights reserved. No portion of this document may be performed, published, sold or distributed by any means, or quoted or published in any medium, including on any web site, without prior written consent. Disposal of this script copy does not alter any of the restrictions set forth above. WRITER’S GUIDE 2004 Season 3 INTRODUCTION A few to-dos before you come in to pitch. 1. Watch the pilot. 2. Read the book by Stephen King. 3. Watch the episode “Destiny”, our first season cliffhanger. 4. Watch Frank Capra’s Meet John Doe. 5. Watch Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ. Some don’ts: 1. Although Johnny should help someone in most every story, we don’t want this to become “Touched by an Angel”. We must find interesting, unique and fresh ways to tell stories. No preaching please. Find the unexpected twist. 2. Don’t pitch story arcs that run multiple episodes. What we need from you are self-contained stories. 3. We do not want to hear any pitches based on previously seen material -- whether film or television. Those kinds of story ideas occur to everybody -- including The Dead Zone staff. Johnny Smith is a fresh and unusual character, never before seen on television. We want fresh and unusual story concepts that likewise have not been seen on television. If it can be said of an idea "Star Trek did that" -- or "Buffy" or "The X-Files" or "Twilight Zone" -- then that is not an idea you should pitch. -
