An interview with Brett Pierce Co-Director of Toronto After Dark Festival’s Best Comedy, Deadheads
Friday November 18th 2011One of the best movies screened at The Toronto After Dark Film Festival this year was Deadheads. The film is a dark comedy about a guy, his pal and their faithful mutt on a road trip to win back the girl of his dreams, the only catch is he’s been dead for three years and is now a new breed of conscious zombies. And his pal is a conscious zombie. And their faithful mutt is a not-really-conscious-zombie. It was a truly fresh take on the genre, with a well written script peppered with enough pop culture references to make Joss Whedon proud. With a bit of sleuthing, I managed to track down Brett Pierce (co-writer and co-director) to chat about the film.

Sony to make its move into online television
Thursday November 17th 2011Sony is working on a daring plan to shake up the way Americans watch television, with a service that will pipe TV channels direct to the company’s PlayStation consoles, BluRay video players and television sets. The Japanese electronics giant believes it may be one of the companies powerful enough to dislodge cable TV providers and satellite broadcasters from their entrenched position in American homes, and it is in negotiations to assemble content for a new internet TV service for people who buy its devices.
