In the news: ZOS

From Playback:

  • Whizbang makes drama, not war
    ZOS: Zone of Separation, the new drama produced by Whizbang Films (Men with Brooms), has returned from its 12-day stint in Bosnia and is now filming in Toronto and southern Ontario. The eight-parter, about the enforcement of a UN-brokered ceasefire in the fictional Sarajevo-like town of Jadac, isn’t a story about war, stresses executive producer Frank Siracusa (H2O). “It’s about what happens when you remove civility from a community; about the absence of law… Our log line is ‘The truth is a lie,’ so it’s about how all of the [people] involved deal with finding the truth in this zone of separation.”

From Jim Bawden of the Toronto Star:

  • Hot Box: TV to Talk About
    Don’t let it get out, but production has just started on the third season of Paradise Falls, the wacky sendup of TV soaps begun in 2001. But who of the cast will be back? Deb McGrath already has another steady gig on Little Mosque on the Prairie. Filming starts at the Sullivan Films backlot off Eglinton Ave. E., and then cast and crew are off to cottage country for exterior shots.

In the news: The Border, CBC

From Playback:

  • Raymont on The Border

    • Almost six years after it was shelved in the wake of Sept. 11, The Border has gone to camera for CBC’s midseason slate. The series, a high-action drama that follows Canadian agents on the front line of immigration policing, has a lot of things “blowing up and high production values,” according to executive producer Peter Raymont, “but it has a conscience,” too.
