My career not only as a writer, but as a person who works with animals, a filmmaker, and media creator, is evolving. This year, I prepare, and next year, I take the first steps towards creating animated films, television, and stand-alone shorts based on my children's literature (and down the road, I hope this can expand to the work of other children's authors, too). I will therefore be moving two of my creative businesses closer together into a kind of co-production collaboration...  You know about me and my books, so let me tell you a bit about Triple Take Productions' background...Triple Take has been and continues to be a company that produces uniquely Canadian comedic and often genre-based theatre, short films and feature-length movies and scripts for the stage, cinema, television, and online. Founded on July 29th, 1993 by Regan Macaulay and Rob Downes (in order to produce John Mighton’s play A Short History of Night at Oshawa Little Theatre), Triple Take Productions is a Toronto-based theatre, film, and television production company that produces uniquely Canadian comedic and often genre-based theatre, short films, feature-length movies, and scripts for the stage, cinema, television, and online. Triple Take is dedicated to telling stories where gut-busting comedy collides with the fantastical, horrifying, and speculative. B-movie, sci-fi fantasy, and horror aficionados take note, you will find the glory of the ludicrous in our theatrical productions, short films, feature movie, and published scripts and books … we go anywhere our imagination takes us. In our 20th year, we expanded into publishing and licensing of plays and screenplays previously produced by Triple Take, or written by writers affiliated with Triple Take (including our 2006 Fringe of Toronto and Best of the Fringe hit, It Was Kit and one of our two 2010 Fringe of Toronto plays, The Aquarium). We have also published the script and a novelette adaptation for our feature film, Space Zombies: 13 Months of Brain-Spinning Mayhem! (which previously aired on SPACE and Drive-In Classics and is now available to on DVD, Amazon Prime, and tubi). We also co-produce with other distinctive theatre and media companies in order to enhance our range in genres and the substance of our projects. It is in this spirit that we now expand and are moving ahead with projects related to children's literature by Regan W. H. Macaulay (and in future, other children's authors), as well as documentaries with Regan's other business, Kurī K9 Massage.  I want to know what you think...what do you want to see? An animated Christmas special re-telling the tale of Merry Myrrh the Christmas Bat? A children's television season featuring Beverlee Beaz the Brown Burmeseand her imaginative friends? An educational series on pet care hosted by Tamara Turtle and Chloe the Unfeathered Parrot? Lay it on me! It's going to be a long road and a steep learning curve, but I want to create what you want to see, featuring characters you know and love, and new faces, too. I can't wait to read your replies...and I really can't wait to start this new journey, which truly feels like the culmination of so many stories, projects, and experiences.  |
