John Butler & Holly Dumas
ZOMBIE
ANTHOLOGY
An artistic B&W and thoughtful reflection on the interpretation of zombie stories, and reaching beyond the usual tropes to find meaning in the metaphor of the zombie.
In each episode, we see a different narrative of who becomes zombies, why, and how we function in a world that is overtaken - whether it be the world at large, or within the home.

CLOSER TO HOME
30-MINUTE COMEDY SERIES - Closer to Home is a comedy series set in a tiny, mysterious village on Cape Breton Island. It tells the story of Heather Steele, her husband Buddy McAdam, their daughter Rita and how their little family expands by two. The sudden expansion happens when Heather becomes determined to foster two kids who are likely to age out of the terrible system they’re in. Matt and Sam (Samantha) have been in foster care for most of their life. The new family dynamic is as lively and as eccentric as the village in which they’re living. The assumptions made in every script are that family is everything, the differences between us are illusions and that the universe is, as Heisenberg said, "stranger than we can think".
