DESCRIPTION:
(from Sundance's press release, February 2010) Sundance Channel will premiere Season 1 of the critically acclaimed Australian comedy series, "Chandon Pictures," as part of its Friday night comedy block, "Knock Knock," beginning March 26 at 9:00pm. The eight-episode season will premiere over the course of four weeks, with two half-hour episodes airing back-to-back at 9:00pm and 9:30pm every Friday night, from March 26 - April 16. "Chandon Pictures" is created and written by Rob Carlton, who also stars as Tom Chandon, documentary filmmaker and founder of the fledgling video production company Chandon Pictures. Posters and cut-outs for Tom's documentary feature, Oh No Bonzo, decorate Chandon's offices, which happen to be located in Tom's house - the childhood home he and his younger brother inherited from their late parents. Though Tom considers himself an auteur -- or, in his words, "a documenteur" -- his portfolio doesn't extend much beyond weddings and kids' birthday parties. But with the help of his loyal cameraman, Rick (Darren Gilshenan), his pragmatic producer, Lucy (Rebecca Massey), and an ample supply of vanity and self-delusion, Tom manages to twist each client's brief to match his creative dreams of making "films that matter." "Chandon Pictures" is directed by Rob Carlton and Alex Weinress. |
