It's a great premise, and a touching, hilarious script. Shelley worked on Conspiracy with Praxis advisor John Frizzell, and after a rewrite found herself at the centre of a bidding war among nine Canadian producers. In the last couple of years, I've had more satisfaction out of the TV I've watched than most movies.
Television is a great mix of 'social' and 'solo' writing.
In the writing program at the Film Centre, Al Magee got us each to write down our Top Ten TV programs of all time. For me that was a wakeup call. We take televison for granted, because it's a piece of furniture. But it's had a seminal effect on all of us. Praxis welcomes your questions and feedback.
