"It kinda just sounds like you're making up science." Strap in for some high school multiverse chaos! Hulu has revealed an official trailer for a comedy series titled Davey & Jonesie's Locker, produced by both Prime Video & Hulu. It's ready to launch for streaming later in March. Veronika Slowikowska stars as Davey and Jaelynn Thora Brooks as Jonesie - best friends. The two feel out of step with their peers and the banal backdrops of their high school. When they discover their locker is actually a portal to a Multiverse, they set off on new adventures. Alas, these adventures are set in alternate versions of their high school, with offbeat iterations of their classmates. The cast also includes Dan Beirne as disgraced quantum physicist turned science teacher, Mr. Schneider, who plays a key role; along with Emily Piggford, Nikko Angelo Hinayo, Kevin Lauta Osea, Erika Swayze, and showrunner Evany Rosen as the school's principal.

As Canadian heritage minister Pablo Rodriguez looks to modernize what qualifies as a Canadian film or TV series for U.S. streamers now obligated by law to invest in local content, he has a message for Hollywood.
“As Canadians, we know, we love you guys, our American friends. We love you. But we’re different, We’re not better. We’re not worse. We’re just different,” Rodriguez told the Banff World Media Festival as he looks to American media players to bring Canada’s TV and film productions to international markets.
Rodriguez’s Liberal government in Ottawa recently passed into law Bill C-11 to compel U.S. digital players including streamers to, for the first time, invest in Canadian-content production.
But the Crtc, which regulates the Canadian broadcast industry, will now hold hearings to establish the amount of investment expected from the U.S. streamers into local content, as local broadcasters have long done.

The National Screen Institute of Canada has selected Pardis Parker's short "The Dance" for their Best Comedy award. The dialogue-free love story has won several awards, and signals the continuing trend of silent films following "The Artist"'s Oscar win in 2012 and "The Paperman"'s Oscar win for best Animated short in 2013. "Blancanieves," Spain's entry for the 2013 Best Foreign Language film, was a silent black-and-white rendition of Snow White. In 2008 it was Pixar's "Wall-e" that found mainstream adoration with twenty minutes with almost no dialogue at all. Joy Loewen, a member of the Nsi, states: "No dialogue and cross-cultural romance gave 'The Dance' universal appeal." Positive reaction to his film, says Parker, "shows that you don't need words to tell a story, or to connect to people's hearts, or even to make them laugh." Parker also stars in the film, alongside Evany Rosen. Watch "The Dance" below:...

Some things are a given when you decide to make a '70s-set disco boogie spoof: there will be disco music, there will be gold lame, there will be big hair, there will be Bee Gees references and there will be roller skates.
But a long-dead dad who was murdered at the hands of video-game pushing gangsters? That's a Picnicface original.
The Haligonian comedy troupe hit the roller rink for their first feature film Roller Town, after their cheeky online videos made Will Ferrell a fan and The Comedy Network gave them their own show that, sadly, only lasted one season.
Drawing inspiration from Roller Boogie, Skatetown, U.S.A., Airplane, Monty Python's Holy Grail and Wet Hot American Summer, Mark Little and his Picnicface alumnus – co-writer Scott Vrooman, director and co-writer Andrew Bush, co-stars Kyle Dooley, Cheryl Haan, Brian MacQuarrie, Evany Rosen and Bill Wood – thought the era of...

Thanks to FirstShowing we have our first look at Space Janitors, an upcoming Star Wars-inspired web series. The web series airs on The Escapist on February 24th. Davin Lengyel and Geoff Lapaire created the series. The story follows "two human custodians working on board a battle station for the evil Empire. As they try to hold on to their jobs in the midst of an intergalactic civil war, the series offers a satirical and irreverent view of androids, clones, Dark Lords, and other science-fiction staples."
