HTA was thrilled to discover that we’ve been selected this year among the 30 people and groups that make up the University of Winnipeg’s Uniter’s 30 under 30 list; a list that “feature(s), in no particular order, a group of Manitobans who are 30 years old or younger who are making a difference and impacting their community in some way, or who are outstanding in their field – whatever that field may be.” Sounds good to us! Thanks Uniter!
Also, we just got our hands on a sweet preview copy of the CBC Winnipeg Comedy Fest Musical Gala which will air in the next couple months. It turned out really great. It was sad to see the whole show, which was two hours live, get cut down to 45 minutes for TV. All the acts lost lots of really good chunks, but we’re really happy with what they kept of ours. Congrats to Frantic Films and CBC on the production. Can’t wait for it to air. We’ll obviously keep you posted as soon as we find out when, specifically, that will be. But in the mean time, you can check out this preview clip.
Lastly, a mini update on the pilot: All this fall, HTA has been working hard to get ready to write our TV pilot this December. We’ve been studying and disecting examples of great TV writing, reading up as much as possible, and even practicing by plotting out hypothetical spec scripts for existing TV shows. And In two weeks time we’re finally officially locking ourselves in a room for two weeks and getting this baby written. It’s scary, fun, daunting and exciting all at the same time. We can’t wait to see what comes of this writing process. Send us your comedy vibes starting on December 12th!
