Dr. Canard

Dr. Canard

Directed by John Jacobsen

Written by Bill Abelson

Staring Shawn Telford (Homeland, Grimm), Tracey Conway (Almost Live!, The [206]), Jessica Martin (Wrecked, Grimm)

Affable slacker Bryan Mallard wants to win back his ex-girlfriend Pam. When Bryan discovers Pam is desperately seeking therapy, he assumes a new identity as ace French shrink 'Dr. Canard'! But can Canard convince Pam to be his client? And since his counseling ability is void as a doughnut hole, are his chances with her dead as a duck?

Jimmy the Limo Driver
Directed and Written by Brendan Hickey
Staring Claude Brun, Brendan Hickey, Miles Whitworth, Alex Thiersch

Jimmy, a socially awkward teen, is challenged to a one on one duel after he accidentally runs over a martial arts trained bully’s cat.

Hickey is a 16-year-old filmmaker living in Seattle, Washington. This is his 3rd short film and he’s currently in production on his feature length debut. His films have won awards in Oregon, Washington, Vermont, Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and recently Alberta.

Georgiana
Directed and Written by Carina Simmons and Tara Simmons
Staring Tom Lees (voice)

An animated series following 6-year old Georgiana as she embarks on another mundane adventure, encountering the daily mishaps of life in the big city. Travis Vogt of CityArts says of Georgina:

“Georgiana is an animated short film about a day in the life of an affectless little girl who wakes up, runs some errands, sits in a park for a few hours and eventually goes back to bed. If that doesn’t sound particularly unusual to you, that’s because I left out the fish criminal, the boiling scalp, the brutal car accident, the hot dog cereal and the snot. 

"It’s a four-minute long, deeply bizarre and hilarious exercise in understated absurdity.”
