i ' ve been given a palatable taste of joe lynch ' s knights of badassdom , but i ' m now ready for the main course - lynch ' s fabled director ' s cut .
speaking of knights of badassdom , the kickstarter page for men in suits does have a clip called first fitting which features tait having his first fitting in the abominog suit . i asked mr . bradley whether we would see any of the footage that was shot of douglas tait for men in suits on the eventual knights of badassdom dvd or blu - ray and he said that they have had
some discussions
about it .
indeed , the web site for media society does advertise a september 1 , 2012 debut , although it remains to be seen whether or not it will be delayed like knights of badassdom .
the longer they wait to release knights of badassdom , the further they distance themselves from the great buzz from their comic con debut . right now , the
official word
is that knights of badassdom will hit theaters in the first half of 2013 . that ' s surely better than the nebulous
coming soon ,
but it ' s still a long way from having an actual release date .
like fanboys long before it , zero charisma could have been something quite special that spoke to nerdy viewers before it settled for something less . sadly , knights of badassdom joins that club as well .

panel during comic - con 2011 on july 23 , 2011 in san diego , california .
knights of badassdom has a really fun premise . the idea of a group of people in the middle of a live action role playing session actually having to fight a real monster is great ! it ' s clearly what sold the film and what attracted all these good actors .
sounds a lot of fun ! i hope knights of badassdom will have a full theater release , based on the hypa at comic con . also it’s good to see that sumemr glau plays a fighter and not the damsel in distress .
so why are nerds atwitter over badassdom ? it probably has something to do with the premise .
a huge group of dedicated , costumed larp - ers ( live action role - players ) , dressed like knights , elves & various characters , give up their cell phones and take to the woods for the central new jersey knights of badassdom adventure society , where they are set to re - enact a dungeons and dragons scenario right out of the mythical middle ages .
in news related to knights of badassdom , mr . bradley alerted me to an interesting documentary that is currently in production . it ' s called men in suits and it ' s pretty much what you think it is .
the thing is , this isn’t director joe lynch’s cut of the film - - that was one of the lasting casualties brought on by the lengthy crawl to the screen . does that mean that we may never get to see the true genius of this film ? possibly , but it seems pretty clear that knights of badassdom has problems that transcend the magic of editing . blessed with a talented cast , knights of badassdom mostly squanders it’s opportunity to be fresh , funny , and smart , opting instead to unfurl a lifeless “cabin in the woods” film sans the cabin .
slashfilm noticed that the official website for the film , urltoken , contained an open letter to “what remains of the board of directors of indievest , the production company and manager of the film known as knights of badassdom . ” it sounds like some of the people who worked on knights of badassdom are no longer in a position to make any decisions regarding the future of the film . that includes director joe lynch , who supposedly hasn ' t been involved with any aspect of the film ' s post - production since shortly after comic - con in 2011 . however , the site has been updated with a bit more information on the issue .
indievest , founded in 2005 , funded just two movies :
knights of badassdom ,
which starred dinklage and was released in january , and
saint john of las vegas ,
which starred buscemi and was released in 2010 . both of those films were produced by indievest pictures , a wholly owned subsidiary of indievest .
according to the original text from the website urltoken ( which has since been edited so we ' re pulling the old information from bleeding cool for now ) the re - edited version of knights of badassdom is going up for auction tonight . the site alleged that ceo bradley forcibly removed mark burton ( the part president of indievest pictures and producer to the film ) along with screenwriter matt wall from the picture . bradley then began editing knights of badassdom independently . the new edit has supposedly changed the story and overall concept of the film . slashfilm spoke with bradley who stated that the screening of this new version is still on ( tonight ) but all all the accusations made by badassdom are
absolutely false .
in the three years since “knights of badassdom” was filmed mostly on location at riverside state park , the promising hollywood buzz about a film many thought could become the spokane movie industry’s biggest commercial success since the 1993 hit “benny and joon” has turned to skepticism .
earlier this week , we got a request on our facebook page about the current status of knights of badassdom and i started to do a bit of digging . mainly , i was curious because i remembered the trailer and after watching it again , i couldn ' t for the life of me fathom why this film was pushed or shelved .
the project interviews the men and women who don ( or donned ) the suits in some of our favorite monster films . in relation to knights of badassdom the documentary followed douglas tait who plays the creature abominog in the film . they followed tait from the earliest suit fitting up until the first night of shooting .
with names like peter dinklage , summer glau and ryan kwanten attached , knights of badassdom offers a bloody and distinctive take on the meta - horror subgenre . that said , its depiction of larping isn ' t quite as comedically sharp as role models ' , nor as hard - hitting as darkon ' s , say . nevertheless , knights might entertain on some level thanks to its dedicated talent and lighthearted execution .
knights of badassdom the hubs and i saw the hall h panel at san diego comic - con for the movie knights of badassdom years ago now . it has a stellar cast – peter dinklage , summer glau , ryan kwanten , steve zahn , jimmi simpson , and more – and a premise that sounded really funny . basically , it’s supposed to be galaxy quest for the live action role play set . we literally could not wait to see this movie . we got home from comic - con and eagerly awaited the release .
knights of badassdom just sort of sat around for years . the story behind its delay is ugly and kind of stupid - the production company behind the film , indievest , seems to have been run into the ground through terrible and possibly fraudulent business practices , and the owner of that company has stolen the film from lynch and made his own 70 minute cut .
knights of badassdom is an independent film from joe lynch that focuses on the world of larp . it features an ensemble cast culled from sci fi and geek culture , featuring ryan kwanten and steve zahn , with supporting roles from summer glau ( firefly ) , danny pudi ( community ) , and peter dinklage ( game of thrones ) .
the anonymous complaint in question claimed to be from a financial backer of a company called indievest . you can read the whole thing for yourself , but basically it claimed that the powers in charge of indievest were creating a shell company called media society so that they could release knights of badassdom under that label and stiff the original financial backers of the film with indievest .
live action roleplay ( larp ) enthusiasts have waited a long time for the release of knights of badassdom , directed by joe lynch and starring true blood ' s ryan kwanten , game of thrones ' peter dinklage and firefly ' s summer glau . and as the film ' s latest trailer proudly declares ,
thy wait is over !
those who’ve had knights of badassdom on their radar all this time are likely to get some mild amusement and satisfaction out of seeing the larping community depicted as something other than viral video fodder . everyone else will find it a frustrating exercise of missed opportunities , as rough around the edges as the fake frank frazetta painting on your cousin’s van .
this brings us back to knights of badassdom which made its debut at comic con in late july of 2011 . during its comic con panel director joe lynch debuted the film ' s trailer and a clip from the movie . the trailer was so badass that we even featured it in a story on our site .
according to mr . bradley , knights of badassdom is going to be released theatrically in
the first half of 2013 .
when i pressed him for specifics on the release strategy ( limited vs . wide release , etc . ) , he said that the results from test screenings would dictate how wide of a release it would ultimately get .

he started a “badassdom” fan website and is worried that a movie with so much potential may not get the audience it deserves .
i did ask mr . bradley that with the sheer number of fans clamoring and practically begging for information on knights of badassdom why they have chosen to remain quiet about the status of the film . he said that they made a conscious decision not to actively engage the fans instead choosing to let the finished product speak for itself - whenever that may be .
kwanten , who also plays a slightly less - than - super hero in the upcoming movie griff the invisible , stopped by the wired café at comic - con international to talk about his role in knights of badassdom and why the film’s great reception at the san diego convention got him so excited .
still , if you can put aside rationale for 85 minutes , knights of badassdom is a blast and a half . there are some decent laughs , a couple of fun kills and , as stated , a riotous third act . while it doesn ' t all mesh completely , it ' s worth looking into for fans of low - budget comedy - horror flicks .
ultimately , knights of badassdom feels like a film that believed its nerdbait premise would distract viewers from feeling underwhelmed by underdeveloped characters , a mostly charmless script , and lackluster visual effects . this isn’t the nerd opus of our time ( it’s not even the best larp - centric film , wassup role models ? ) , it’s just a bunch of famous people playing pretend in the woods .
knights of badassdom follows three best friends ( peter dinklage , steve zahn and ryan kwanten ) and dedicated larpers ( live action role players ) as they take to the woods to reenact a dungeons and dragons - like scenario fresh out of the mythical middle ages . trouble arises after they unwittingly conjure up some serious evil in the form of a blood - lusting succubus , from the pits of hell . ( c ) eone
something went horribly wrong in the translation . although spirited at times , badassdom takes on familiar targets , while its escalation of oddity is forced when it isn ' t confusing .
now , i ' m a sucker for documentaries about the film industry , especially those that shed light onto the under - appreciated areas of film making . mr . bradley stated that the film makers have recently launched a kickstarter campaign to raise $ 8 , 500 to cover the first run of dvds . so far , they have over $ 9 , 700 pledged so at least a part of knights of badassdom will see the light of day this year .
bradley said that
knights of badassdom
has performed well on home entertainment platforms and investors in it could eventually make money . the film was budgeted at $ 4 . 5 million , but went
vastly over budget … enough to deplete our marketing budget ,
though he declined to say what it ultimately cost .
turns out that joe lynch hasn’t had input on the film since just after comic con ’11 . one of the producers is set to screen a cut of the film tomorrow , presumably in the hopes of attracting interest in buying the existing cut . the film’s website , urltoken , has been revamped to feature an open letter to “what remains of the board of directors of indievest , the production company and manager of the film known as knights of badassdom . ” ( update : there has been a second update , so the text on the site is now changed . )
here ' s to hoping that this time , there won ' t be any further delays . we will keep an eye on developments surrounding this film and let you know what we hear . in the meantime , i can ' t think of a better way to end this piece than to check out the amazing trailer for knights of badassdom one more time .

today , the feature film knights of badassdom finally hits video on demand after a limited theatrical run last month . today also marks the release of my original score , brought to you by sparks & shadows . the album containing both my original score and songs is available digitally from itunes , amazon mp3 and is also available on cd . feast thine ears on this ten - minute preview of my score !
lynch has yet to comment specifically on the situation , however he has been tweeting with the hashtag # notmycut from his twitter account . fingers crossed that knights of badaasdom gets the premiere it deserves .
as it stands , knights of badassdom is an entertaining way to spend just under 90 minutes . a more restrained approach might yield a tighter movie , one that could be funnier by percentage ( the trailer remains popular , and you don’t get more condensed than that ) , but i think it’s still well enough constructed to keep genre - minded viewers entertained .
in the publishing industry , you’re warned to be careful about how many genres you mash together . just the right amount of the right genres mixed together , such as action , humor , and science fiction , can give you a great movie like men in black . but if you add in too much or , worse , add in everything , you get a mess . and knights of badassdom is just such a mess .
as the premise suggests , knights of badassdom takes a very meta - horror approach to its outlandish story , not unlike a jennifer ' s body or piranha 3d . for the most part , the movie embraces the lighter side of larping , which works to its advantage most of the time . naturally , it pokes some fun at the medieval - themed activity - - in - game conversations , for example , are frequently played for laughs . but as the story unfolds , it becomes clear that knights ' ribbing is done out of love . in that way , it feels a bit like role models - - which also had a larping element - - though not quite as funny .
lynch tweeted “ # notmycut” in march . that has been interpreted by the “badassdom” fans to mean he lost control of the film and is unhappy with the finished product . attempts made to reach lynch were unsuccessful .
kwanten said having the film get a huge saturday afternoon panel in comic - con’s famed hall h was “a nice vote of confidence” in badassdom , and called rubbing shoulders with adoring fans a “nice ego boost . ”

initially showcased at sdcc back in 2011 , knights of badassdom seemed like it was a guided arrow heading right for the nerd heart with a cast that included firefly , game of thrones , community , and true blood alumni and a plot that centered on larping and supernatural beasties . the initial buzz fizzled , though , as the film found itself lost in a pile of post - production quicksand and controversy , finally earning a limited theatrical run three weeks ago and a vod release today .

according to urltoken , the movie has been taken away from lynch and given a different edit , which would seem to violate the contract signed by lynch and the production company . wade bradley , the ceo of indievest , the production company for knights of badassdom , is planning to screen the new edit this week . what once was a 90 + minute movie under lynch ' s cut has become a truncated 70 minute version , and thus far bradley has refused to allow lynch to finish his work and edit the movie to his vision . bradley has claimed that the movie went vastly overbudget ( although he approved every spending invoice ) and , if the anonymous writer of the badassdom site is accurate , removed members of indievest who hepled promote and support lynch ' s version of the film .

as of now , there ' s a screening of knights of badassdom for buyers happening this evening in order to get what is supposedly a 70 - minute cut of the film sold and hopefully released . this version reportedly
includes significant changes to the original story and concept . ” well , that doesn ' t sound good . other than that , the legal red tape is what ' s really at the source of this debacle . aside from the creative differences that apparently exist , what is left of indievest is trying to transfer the film over to an entity called media society in order to turn the film into a business asset , thus making it difficult for anyone to give them grief .
so while it’s not the greatest movie ever made , nor is it even the funniest movie to feature larping ( that honor goes to role models ) , knights of badassdom is still a damn good time . it may be funnier with friends and a couple drinks in you , but even without you still will have a good time watching this film . i mean , the dink is in it , for fuck’s sake ! how could you go wrong ?

geeks are pop culture’s exotic overlords , powerful and misunderstood . every year , the most successful movies and most popular tv shows seem as if they are powered by that geek / nerd / fan dollar , but there are scant stories that really “get” that audience when they are the subject . usually , these efforts falter thanks to the sin of generalization , painting all who “geek out” about science fiction , comics , gaming , fantasy and the like as though they are awkward social freaks . knights of badassdom is no exception .
san diego – saturday was a strange and sort of wonderful day in hall h , and it felt like panel after panel had somehow slipped one by the programmers . i love it when the films that play in hall h are the things that need attention , not the things that have already had more than a little hype ahead of time . for many people , the “what the heck was that ? ! ” discovery of this year’s comic - con was joe lynch’s “knights of badassdom . ” i thought the entire panel was entertaining and funny and confident , and it seemed to convince the tough audience sitting around me as well .
the cast and director of knights of badassdom appeared at comic - con 2011 in hall h to a very enthusiastic crowd eager to see their movie . since then . . . nothing . the trailer got a lot of interest online , but then not a peep . it ' s been screened a few times , but never for journalists or the public . i remember talking to joe lynch at sxsw last year , excited for the movie , and he seemed excited to show it , but he was curiously silent on when it would finally make its way to the public . and now we know why .
the hubs and i saw the hall h panel at san diego comic - con for the movie knights of badassdom years ago now . basically , it’s supposed to be galaxy quest for the live action role play set . we literally could not wait to see this movie . we got home from comic - con and eagerly awaited the release . but the movie was held up in some sort of development hell , and wasn’t released for years . it’s on netflix now . so , the question is : was it worth the wait ? sadly , no .
ladies and gents , behold the trailer for one of the most crowd - pleasing , straight - up entertaining action horror movies in recent memory , the aptly - titled mayhem . directed by everly and knights of badassdom helmer joe lynch , mayhem stars the walking dead ' s steven yeun as derek cho , a corporate climber having the worst day of his career when he discovers that the law firm ' s building is under quarantine for a dangerous virus that drives the infected to act out their wildest impulses . with chaos unleashed in the office , derek teams with a former client ( samara weaving ) to claw their …
to be totally honest , everyone thinks we designed this , like we had some kind of ryan kavanaugh - esque equation where if we plugged in this , plus this , plus this , equals this , times this and boom ! you got a movie that ' s going to kill at comic - con – that is so not the case ,
lynch said in an interview with wired . com , discussing the fortuitous timing of the knights of badassdom panel and q & a saturday in hall h .
i honestly have to chalk it up to movie magic ; the cinema gods were looking down on us .
i ' ve been wanting to see knights of badassdom since it was announced . it ' s got steve zahn doing the
lightning bolt
thing , it ' s got peter dinklage , currently on a career high with his work on game of thrones , and it just looks fun as hell . that online trailer sold me . what can i say , i ' m a geek for this kind of stuff . one of my most anticipated movies for sxsw this year is zero charisma , a d & d - inspired comedy . sure , it ' s nerdy as hell , but we live in a world run by nerds , geeks , and larpers . embrace the mystery .
“those larpers were the best scene partners in the world , ” said michael gladis , who plays king diamond in “badassdom , ” at comic - con . “they were right there with us . they had so much energy and they kept it all day long . they’re going to be the soul of the film in a lot of ways . ”
those who are behind the campaign to save the film in its original form are saying this kind of decision is deceptive and not in the best interest of those who have invested in the film ( check out the website for stories about the shady actions of indievest and media society ) . the urltoken website has since been updated after this debacle became a little more public and says ,
indievest still has many options for completing knights of badassdom in a prudent way that allows it to continue to act with the fiduciary responsibility it owes its investors . it can do so without yielding to bullying and with minimal additional expense .
and while director joe lynch hasn ' t made his position extensively know , there is this tweet :
knights of badassdom is perhaps best known for its behind - the - scenes wrangles , which saw it taken out of director joe lynch’s hands and re - edited in a way he wasn’t happy with . having been shot in 2010 , and gaining some anticipation in certain circles online thanks to funny clips / trailers and general hype , by the time the edited version was released stateside in early 2014 , reception was poor . a lot of this was put down to it still not being lynch’s cut , but i disagree for two reasons : one , i thought this version was good fun ; and two , based on what i’ve read , i’m not convinced lynch’s preferred cut would help any of the elements that might need helping .
there are a number of releases on this week ' s list that are worth checking out . this includes gloria , the official oscar selection from chile ; stranger by the lake , an erotic thriller with a gay protagonist ; and our man in tehran , a canadian documentary that tells the story of what happened in argo . there are also some less serious films that i think i will like more than the average critic : 3 night stand and knights of badassdom . on the other hand , the widest release is gimme shelter , which might do well if it can tap into the churchgoing demographic ; however , it could also miss the mendoza line . more . . .
rich cowan , an executive producer of the film , is one of the few locals who have seen a full version of the film , though he hasn’t seen the final cut .
it’s hard to imagine a movie getting closer to the platonic ideal of nerdity than knights of badassdom . it’s about live action role - playing ( larping ) . it’s got game of thrones’ peter dinklage , community’ s dany pudi , firefly’ s summer glau , and a succubus . it ruled hall h at comic - con international ( which is like being the halftime show at the super bowl , if people watching the super bowl not only cared , but regularly freaked out about the halftime show ) . it almost sounds too good to be true ; in fact , after waiting more than two years for its release , some of us were starting to think it had all been a dream . but now it’s finally here—it’s on vod starting this week , with a theatrical run ongoing .
producer wade bradley , who is behind the new cut , is supposedly the man who removed lynch from the film and also fired several other producers . bradley is the man holding the screening tonight which those calling themselves the real knights of badassdom tried to prevent . now they have to sit and wait , hoping their plea to investors and potential buyers is enough to keep it from getting bought or have those buyers demand that lynch be brought back to finish the film . there ' s also hopes that they can raise enough money to finish the visual effects and other post - production elements needed .
the first feature film from writer matias caruso , mayhem was directed by joe lynch ( everly , knights of badassdom ) and stars steven yeun ( “ the walking dead , ” okja ) , samara weaving ( three billboards outside ebbing , missouri , showtime’s “ smilf ” ) , and steven brand ( “ teen wolf , ” “ secrets and lies ” ) . synopsis : derek cho ( steven yeun ) is having a really bad day . after being unjustly fired from his job , … the post mayhem first official key art ! first appeared on hnn | urltoken 2017 - official horror news site
gorehounds are , naturally , excited for this ; but as i see it , knights of badassdom is a comedy horror , a genre in which the emphasis falls firmly on the comedy side . there’s room for blood and guts in there , especially when used to humorous effect , but it’s not about the visceral thrills of seeing someone eviscerated — if that’s your bag , there are plenty of films to cater for it ; is a comedy about role - players really the occasion ? there are elements of the film that could do with tightening up — the beginning is a little slow , as well as the issues with the middle , and towards the climax it’s sporadically jumpy in a way that makes it clear something has been excised — but just adding gore is not what this film needs to improve it .
but it wasn’t enough to elevate that movie above something mediocre , and that’s if i’m being generous . so there was that critical and commercial failure , which almost definitely fed into the producers losing faith in knights of badassdom . there’s a somewhat similar feel and theme , with weed and monsters and irreverant humor , so perhaps they simply thought that audiences wouldn’t be interested and got scared . they then apparently took it from the director , joe lynch , in order to re - edit it , delaying it significantly . hence , why it was missed by myself and also why mr . lynch has disowned the resulting film . of course , being released on only 13 screens didn’t help , either .
our fairies are different : one of the in - story guilds is a group of fairies . . . who seem to just be a group of people who wear large costume butterfly wings and prance around .
“i wore 80 pounds of armor and ran around fighting demons until i finally got killed after 16 days of shooting , ” he said .
i regret i must agree . with the cast they listed i really expected much more out of the movie . in the words of one of my writing partners : i could puke a better script than that !
the official badassdom website currently asks only that potential buyers be made aware that the film they are viewing is not the original and that any investors should consider giving the film back to lynch for completion . thankfully a recent update seems optimistic on the current message getting passed around to potential buyers .
it’s all a little inside - baseball , to be honest . edits happen—and at least knights is finally seeing the light of day after more than two years in post - production hell . larpers should take heart that their love letter is actually watchable ; after all , more than one noble film has been felled on a battlefield that’s far more dangerous than nevermore . it’s called hollywood .
there’s no denying the high concept of “knights” is pretty much as niche nerd specific as possible , and that can be tricky when a distributor is thinking about how to sell something , but the film benefits from having a cast that is suddenly very high - profile and easier to sell . you’re looking at a lot of overlap from different types of fandom , plus a sort of cumulative marketability that comes from the sort of cross - platform buzz you can generate with these people involved . if there’s one thing i learned from this year’s convention , it is that television draws huge crowds , bigger than the movie panels this year , and should not be underestimated as a commercial force .
we here at ain ' t it cool news always support the director ' s vision over the producers , and if the report is accurate lynch ' s movie is essentially being held hostage . furthermore , the time is fast approaching when no one will be able to do anything about it . once bradley sells knights to badassdom to a studio for distribution , lynch will not have his final edit . joe lynch deserves better , the cast deserves better , and we as movie fans deserve better . artists whenever possible should have first say over how their films are seen , and hopefully they ' ll win out this time .

where does all this leave the film ? the original open letter on the badassdom website made clear the desires of one set of involved parties : they want the film back in joe lynch’s hands , and are hoping to raise the last money needed to complete the effects and other post - production elements that will allow the film to be finished to lynch’s specifications . the hope is that anyone interested in the film thanks to the screening tomorrow will bring lynch back into the fold .

according to the most recent interview with lynch that i’ve found , this version of badassdom has actually sold and rented pretty well , and the distributors ( who aren’t the same people who messed with his cut — it got sold on at some point ) have been in touch about possibly releasing his cut . at some point we may get to find out the truth of the matter , then , but i rather suspect those who were expecting a tighter , funnier movie may be disappointed , even if those who just want more blood may be satiated .

arilla is a rising junior majoring in finance . when applying for a wilson funded summer internship , she was drawn to hour children’s mission , and as a local queens resident , she wanted to give back to her own community . arillia’s past jobs have been “customer facing” , giving her experience dealing with people and speaking with authority . she also recognizes that a public speaking class she took last semester was extremely valuable for this internship . her summer experience at hour children has helped her better understand the organizational differences between the nonprofit and corporate sector . while working in a direct services organization is tricky and at times emotionally challenging , arillia walked away with a first - hand understanding of the context of the women and the families hour children works with ; something she could only appreciate by being fully - immersed .

curtis , a rising senior who is studying economics at pace , has “a passion for delivering positive change to [ my ] environment” he heard about the program from a pace alum who was also a former wilson center intern . defy venture’s mission and vision motivated him to apply for the position , and his first few weeks at the organization only further cemented his passion as an advocate and actor for social change - specifically in economic empowerment . this experience has helped him develop a deeper understanding of what it is to work in social justice broadly , and he hopes to pursue a career in the social impact sector post graduation . curtis was anecdotally aware of the difficulties formerly incarcerated populations have reintegrating into society ; working at defy gave him a direct look at the breadth of the issues , and more importantly , gave him a chance to participate in an innovative solution .

michael hirsh has left his comfort zone in preschool and kids animation forthe complicated world of live action tv .
the cookie jar entertainment topper sits in front of a video monitor inside studio 40 at the canadian broadcasting corp . in toronto as the cameras roll on mudpit , the canuck cartoon producer ' s first live action tv series .
four real - world teens fill a booth in a fictional gaming cafe and discuss how their virtual band mudpit can win muzika , an online reality game where avatars compete to become rock stars in real life .
well , mudpit is not entirely live action , hirsh corrects , more a cgi animation / live - action hybrid increasingly showing up on cable cartoon channels . so the canadian indie producer is chasing that demand .
the ( animation ) market is changing . there ' s an interest in live action ,
he explains .
for example , canadian cable cartoon channel teletoon has followed the u . s . cartoon network in mixing live action programming with traditional animation .
hirsh has also seen broadcasters over the last 18 months buy less animation in hard times and air what they have more often .
the kids market has also been diced and sliced as linear tv channels compete for eyeballs with streaming tv , downloadable content , online and console gaming and other new digital technologies .
what ' s more , young girls have their own evolving programming demands distinct from boys that indie producers and broadcasters need to meet askids tv schedules increasingly look like the cereal aisle .
the marketplace for just another tv show just isn ' t there anymore ,
hirsh observes .
so cookie jar is looking to crack the code on what broadcasters and viewers want these days with mudpit , a kids series for teletoon that lives at the intersection of music and role playing in a virtual world .
each episode features a comedic live - action story around the real lives ofthe four main characters , a parallel cgi animated story , and a rock music performance by the mudpit band members .
in addition , the mudpit band members ' avatar personas compete againstother bands in a virtual muzika world for rock stardom .
here hirsh points to mudpit as a
game - changing
show as it combines elements that dominate the lives of kids today : tv , a virtual online world , music and video gaming .
cookie jar anticipates a host of ancillary spin - offs from its live action tween series .
there ' s a concert tour for the real world band members in mudpit , arecord deal is in the works , and new media producer ndi media is to create muzika , an online multi - user music role - playing game .
the mudpit series was created by jamie waese , most recently head of current programming for cookie jar entertainment .
but the heavy - lifting is done by executive producer and showrunner bruce kalish , whose career began on the abc comedy mork & mindy and whose recent disney credits include the live - action series , aaron stone and disney channel ' s the famous jett jackson and the famous jett jackson movie .
it ' s all a world away from the industry that allowed hirsh to co - found nelvana in 1971 in toronto , and build it into giant cartoon factory supplying u . s . networks and a host of other international broadcasters with classic hits like babar , care bears and franklin .
hirsh sold nelvana in 2000 at the top of the global animation market to canadian broadcaster corus entertainment , and returned in late 2003 to acquire embattled rival animation giant cinar corp . and create cookie jar as a major animation and edutainment studio with lieutenant toper taylor in los angeles .
hirsh and taylor brought more than 50 years of combined experience as brand and business builders in the global kids programming market , and a stable of equity fund investors backing their more immediate plans for growth .
their indie animation plans got a boost in 2008 when cookie jar acquired burbank - based dic entertainment , and merged it with the canadian company ' s los angeles operations .
the deal for dic included a one - third stake in kidsco , an international kids television channel jointly owned by nbc universal and corus entertainment .
hirsh said cookie jar and its private investors are still biding theirtime before they bring the canadian animation producer to financial markets through an ipo .
in the meantime , he sees better times ahead in the global animation market as broadcasters and advertisers again look favorably on kids programming .
we ' re seeing a turnaround , and seeing it globally . i just hope it ' s here to stay ,
hirsh said .
and there ' s more live action fare on its way from cookie jar with decidedly debra , a teen single - camera comedy for family channel created by andrew nicolls and darrel vickers ( jimmy neutron ) .

“i am studying international finance and investment at sheffield hallam university and as part of the course we are required to take a year’s placement at a relevant company .
“my roles and responsibilities in sales administration have been varied so far . it’s never boring , i could be completing invoices , writing reports , dealing with spreadsheets , one day is never the same . over the months , my input has changed and i feel i have grown into it .
“i’ve also begun to get involved in the events side which is a lot of fun and has taken me out of my comfort zone into an area of business that i have never considered before .
“my placement has altered my view of the world of work and i would now seriously consider going into this industry . i love the variety , especially the case work and this is something i am looking to get more involved in for the rest of my time here .
“the placement is giving me the skills and knowledge employers are looking for . it is a steep learning curve but has taught me to be far more disciplined , regimented and conscious of time .
“the whole experience is about making the most of my university course – and you get to earn while you learn , translate some course skills , but most of all pick up real - life work skills . the priorities are very different from university life .
“i think there are also benefits for employers taking on placement students – companies can access talented , dedicated students who can drive their business forward and at the same time they get a highly cost effective resource .
“my time here has helped me develop and hone the direction of my future career . at this crucial stage of my education i have many decisions to make about what to do following university and the merits of a gap year placement have really helped me focus on my future .
“i am gaining invaluable experience as part of my degree . i will leave university with not just experience with one of the region’s top brands , but a sense of independence and confidence that i hope will give me a real edge in the graduate marketplace – my opportunities are limitless . ”
