TATOO SESSIONS (13 x 30') HDTV Docu/Reality Canamedia Film Productions Inc. A new series that will feature the musicians, producers and engineers who produce music for Tattoo Music, one of North America’s most well respected recording studios. They’ve produced and co-written songs for artists including Kiss, Van Morrison, Alanis Morisette, The Guess Who, etc. etc. The concept is to feature a different band in each episode that is trying to cut a hit track in the studio. Rock stars tend to have huge egos, while producers tend to have a precise vision as to what they want to hear and are extremely blunt in expressing it. This makes for unbelievable drama and tension. The world has seen many shows that build the relationship between the audience and the performer but this show will build the relationship between the audience and the song itself. Viewers will feel associated with the music when they hear the song on the radio or see the music video on television as they’ll feel they were there in the studio witnessing the trials and tribulations of an often frustrating dramatic recording session. The show will feature artists from several large recording labels including Warner Music and Rescue Records.
BROKEN ENGLISH (13 x 30') Comedy in HD Canamedia Film Productions Inc. Broken English is a comedy set in an ESL (English as a Second Language) academy where the teachers’ understanding of wholesome values is weaker than the students’ grasp of the language. Our protagonists are a motley crew of international teachers; from a soccer hooligan to a womanizer, a tree-hugger to a metro-sexual. Their ESL school, named IESS (International English Speaking School) is developing a deserved reputation for being “The McDonalds” of English language academies. Steve Bell is the penny-pinching proprietor of this multi-cultural debauchery and is worried that his international school might lose its accreditation. Steve has one final hope in saving his business. A Japanese agent, who is representing one hundred foreign students, looks to place them at the best ESL school. The agent will base his choice on a series of student evaluations conducted on the first and last day of the semester. As a result, Steve hires a new ass-whipping academic supervisor to force his incompetent teaching staff to either shape up or ship out. This creates added pressure on the students to improve their English skills. In the last episode, the future of IESS hangs in the balance of the Japanese agent’s final decision.
COME CLOSER: IT'S MAGIC (13 x 30') Magic / Variety Canamedia Film Productions Inc. All the laws of the universe are about to be shattered by Canada’s answers to David Blaine. With a single flip of a flaming card magician Jason Maloney takes you places you’re not quite sure exist, with his sleight of hand wizardry and shocking display of control over the meta-physical elements of nature. Along with illusionists such as Jay Sankey and Stephen Elvay, the random acts of magic being performed on city streets and in parks will both amaze and amuse. Shot in HD, using members of the general public as their “marks”, not even the most elaborate camera close ups on the elusive props can explain the magicians reality bending performances. Lose your sanity as Jason palms your pre-conceived notions and materializes them in a place you never knew existed. He’ll mysteriously invade your senses, seemingly controlling your thoughts and actions from within. And then, as quick as a thief, he is back out in our world displaying an answer you didn’t even know you had produced. The magic of these new maestros touches without touching, thinks without thinking, and moves without moving. And just when you think you are near the core of the enigma, the only way you are going to have the slightest understanding, is to Come Closer.

The series will educate viewers about the genre and define it through the eyes of those who are passionate about this form of music: those who play it. Talkin’ Blues is not a documentary about the history of the blues, rather, it is about the current state of the blues as they relate to historical perspective. The show is the follow up to the thirty-nine popular episodes that have been aired on BRAVO! Canada, this time focusing more on African American blues artists, with at least 7 of the 13 episodes featuring artists of color. The majority of the content is shot with one camera and avoids flashy technique or attention-getting devices. It is simple, direct, honest and to the point – much like the blues itself.

WORLD’S
GREATEST SCAMS AND HOAXES (13x30’) Canamedia
Film Productions Inc. Would you be conned into buying the Eiffel Tower? How about the Brooklyn Bridge. Maybe the world's most famous painting, The Mona Lisa, is more to your taste? Trickery and lies know no borders. The World’s Greatest Scams and Hoaxes travels the globe to bring the most outrageous and compelling deceptions to television. In 1911 the famous Mona Lisa painting was stolen by a Brazilian nobleman, Alberto Bisente. His brilliantly simple plan was not to sell the real painting, but to con six nefarious art-lovers into buying forgeries he had secretly commissioned. The plan and the robbery went flawlessly. The French Surete de Police had no leads. The Brazilian had committed the perfect crime. He sold his forgeries and allowed an Italian accomplice to keep the original. The Brazilian returned home a very rich man. Later that year, the real Mona Lisa turned up in Italy and was returned to the Louvre--or was it one of the forgeries?
