Week #1 Show Teaser homegrown

Not every great story has a great beginning... but it has to start somewhere! After a night of debauchery and poor decisions 5- I mean 6- friends set out on a quiet journey back to their sleepy hometown when uh-oh the poutine hits the fan. They will have to be creative, resourceful or just plain lucky in order to reach home. facebook.com/homegrowncanada twitter.com/homegrownshow Music - XeroV

Synopsis

Karl Jones is a fresh film school graduate with one goal; to capture the quintessential Canadian experience on camera. The problem is he is broke and has no definite answer as to what it means to be Canadian. His roommate has gotten him a job with his oddball magazine that affords him the chance to report around the country.

HomeGrown epitomizes Karl's story even as it relays it. We want to showcase the Canadian experience by relating our joint experiences and culture. From crazy nights to silly fights, we want to crowd-source Canada's funniest moments through social media creating a truly unique television event showcasing Canadian cities, designers, musicians, and more like never before.

Team

Greg Borges

Director, Editor

I am a Mohawk College graduate in TV Broadcasting and I'm currently working freelance as videographer/editor. I have worked on several independent projects and participated in a few film festivals. I also graduated a Digital Media program which focused on Graphic Design.

My experiences have led me to where I am and I would love the opportunity to share them with you all!

Brendan Wheeler

Marketing / Social, Producer

I recently graduated from the Business Marketing program, there I was able to collaborate on various independent projects through an array of unique and exciting platforms. I am excited to share and work with everyone's experiences and hope we can grow together throughout this process.

Mark Vanspall

Writer, Director of Photography

I recently graduated from UWaterloo with a degree in economics. I've been an avid recreational writer for years but only recently started to consider writing as a profession. As a comedy super-fan my entire life, combined with years of developing sitcom scenarios with my collaborators, ComedyCoup is providing me with a great challenge to grow and succeed as a writer.

I definitely didn't get a "Home Videos" vibe... if I understand correctly, it's about using audience input for ideas to include in the sitcom's content... right?

I love the idea, it's like having your audience participate in a sitcom via social networks. It gets everyone involved in the laughter!
