FanService Productions Casting Call

Mark P. Tjan — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 19:40:34 +0000

In way of community service, we felt everyone should know about FanService Productions and their casting call. They’re Toronto-local, so be sure to look ‘em up!

FanService Productions is creating a comedy about people who go to conventions. We plan to do everything we can to make this happen. To create a pilot for this show we need a main cast, secondary characters, extras, crew, and any other help we can get. If you are interested please give us some support and help make a great show.

Show Premise: Jordan is just finishing college. With a connection through his teacher, he’ll land an internship at his dream job. Sadly, the teacher wants a favor from him: joining the school’s Anime Club, run by his niece. Their sixth member dropped out and without the extra person, their club will lose all their benefits. Jordan reluctantly accepts and joins the Anime Club under the false pretense that he needs extracurricular activities for his resume. He meets a socially inept group of convention goers and is soon thrust into the world of Anime and Conventions.

Please support us and join in on the fun by liking our Facebook page and following us on twitter.

CB! will very likely be screening the premiere of this show, so please support it and get involved!

Schedule Update

Mark P. Tjan — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 20:25:33 +0000

This is less of a schedule “update” and more of a cosmetic issue. On the schedule we posted yesterday the room names weren’t added. So please download the new version with the pavilion names changed. No times have changed or events moved. Thanks kindly!

Final Schedule and Booklet Now Available

Mark P. Tjan — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 05:13:37 +0000

Hey ladies and gents, rejoice! The final copy of the schedule is at hand! Please review it and the accompanying digital copy of the booklet for information about various events, panels, and more!

Please allow for the digital booklet to load as it’s about 2MB in size owing to images, pages, etc. Not all descriptions of events are available in the book and will be supplied either via attendee package inserts, or at relevant information tables at the convention.

Preview Schedule Updated!

Mark P. Tjan — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 19:35:21 +0000
