I’m here to inform you of something few people know about. The Saskatchewan government has opted to cut its Film Tax Credit. It’s a decision that could ultimately kill our film, TV and digital media industry. But you can help.
If you are in the Saskatoon area, petitions are being handed out each night at the Broadway Theatre, as well as at the Zombie Walk on May 5. On May 14, there is also a “Culture Cruise – in support of Saskatchewan film, TV and digital media”, starring Kim Coates of Sons of Anarchy. It starts at 7:30 AM at the Kinsmen Park, and makes its way down to Regina later in the day.
If you aren’t in the Saskatoon area, you can also sign this online petition; over 8000 signed and counting. We let rock ‘n’ roll die, let’s not do the same to our culture. Get out there and make your voice heard!
The long-awaited sequel to The Picpak Dog Collection is finally here! At 108 pages, it includes strips from June to November 2010. It also features a foreward by George Ford of “Addanac City“, the introduction of Picpak’s parents, and rough stills from the upcoming short film “Picpak Dog in: Feelin’ Groovy“. It’s only here, and it’s only $14.95 + shipping!
