Synopsis

Unlike most sketch shows, Human Town is not an assortment of unrelated sketches. Every scenario and character is part of a united storyworld, where all sketches intertwine and flow into one other inside the bizarre city of HumanTown. Events in one sketch will often impact characters and environments in future sketches, creating a continuous universe for viewers to follow and invest in. Think travelling through "Springfield" with the freedom to leave the Simpsons alone for a while. Our goal is to introduce a cohesive brand of narrative and cinematic style to the structure of a sketch comedy show, pushing the boundaries of what 'sketch' comedy really is.

Team

Kajetan Kwiatkowski

Showrunner, Marketing / Social

First introduced to earth in 1990, Kajetan "Ki" Kwiatkowski has been making comedic films with the rest of the HumanTown team since highschool. After graduating SFU's film program, Ki now works as an Office PA on ABC's Once Upon a Time.

Daniel Doheny

Director, Writer

Born and raised in Vancouver, Daniel has gotten his start working in theatre around the city. A graduate of the Studio 58 acting program, where he received The Earl Klein Memorial Scholarship, Daniel has been working at the Bard on the Beach Shakespeare festival the past two seasons.

Kane Stewart

Producer, Writer

A food eater and sleep fanatic, Kane has worked on award winning short films and recently received a bravoFACT grant to co-produce a talking dog movie. He currently works as a VFX Production Coordinator at Industrial Light & Magic, and has had the endings to 'Pacific Rim', 'Captain America the Winter Solider', and 'Transformers 4' ruined for him in the process.

Well-prepared premise, great production values, but there's a bit too much self-congratulation going on - I'd like to see more examples of the actual comedy.

Marilyn G.
posted 9 years ago

I don't see the direction of this show, I thought I understood it originally but then after your differentiator video it left a lot up in the air and that didn't sit well with me. It felt like you were trying to appeal to the masses and leave it vague.
Gillian S.
posted 9 years ago

I think this story premise will need to be very well thought out.

Until the age of 23 I always thought the "est." on store and restaurant banners meant "estimated." As days pass by I often wonder how I'm still alive in this world, and now I realise it's because I want to watch more HumanTown.

I saw the pilot episode you guys shot of this a few years ago (at Capilano, I think) and thought it was incredibly well done.

I really hope you guys get the funding you need to make it -- it's a really great idea backed by terrific writing and acting.
