Addicted to TV

Last week on M2M, Sarah Hyde and I talked about TV. Specifically, being addicted to it.

Now, I know “addiction” is not a term to be thrown around like spaghetti right before dinner, but I’ve been logging some serious TV hours even though I don’t personally own a TV. With the onslaught of entire show seasons available on DVD or online, it’s easier than ever to watch TV whether you own one or not.

With over a gazillion blogs (or at least 112.8 million), 120 000 000 videos on YouTube and over 600 feature films produced yearly in Canada and the USA alone,  you’d think TV was a done deal. But according to the few people we talked to it’s doing better than ever.

So what  are you watching?

This week on Mouth2Mouth on CJSF 90.1fm Sarah Hyde and I will be talking miracles.

I find this time of year infinitely more fun when every little thing that works out, every green stop light, every line in the grocery store that moves forward an inch is a Christmas miracle.  And so do advertisers. Never does a piece of chicken or shiny technology become so imbued with peace on earth and the end of a 25 year family rivalry than at Christmas time. So, Sarah and I take what we consider to be miracles, throw some Christmas in there and you’ve got m2m for xmas eve.

We interview first-time Director, longtime singer/songwriter Danielle French and play a couple of her songs, including Time to Kill which if you go here, you can see her  kick a** short film of the same name.

Then we talk to local independent film maker Kevan Funk and I can’t talk enough about Kevan Funk.  All I will say here is: remember his name. Because I have a pretty darn good feeling we’ll be hearing it a lot in the future. (and be really really thankful for it, as though it’s a… miracle!)

His short film, Weight, premiered at the Vancouver International Film Festival and has recently been accepted to San Francisco Indiefest.

Here are some behind the scenes shots of making that film on YouTube.

So tune in xmas eve at 2pm to hear about  more things we are calling Christmas miracles!
