So I’ve just wrapped out of studio on a new cooking adventure show for kids called “Tastebuds”. It promises to be quite a neat series and I’m glad to have the chance to educate kids on fun, healthy ways to eat and encourage them to explore the culinary world. I got to go to some cool places like the Cheese Boutique here in Toronto, as well as work with some great people, including Canadian Women’s Olympic gold medal hockey player, Gillian Apps.
After that I almost gave myself alcohol poisoning on St Pattrick’s day.
I’m currently between contracts and focusing my time on sheding a few pounds earned in the studio(and from the pints, no doubt), and developing this little project of ours. After receiving notes from some of the On-screen talent we’ve been pursuing, we’re about to start yet another re-write of the script. Some people might think this tedious but it is all part of the process and one I enjoy.
I’m also meeting with two of the financial institutions that support film and television in this country and we will be discussing how they can assist us in bringing the film to screen.
If you’ve got any questions you’d like answered in a video blog, please send them my way.
Until then, here’s an issue you might want to check out.

… but while working in front of the TV tonight I caught her new show, The Big Give. I must say that although it is not a series I will go out of my way to watch, I am happy to see that she is empowering others to go out and make a difference in people’s lives. This is not like the Extreme Makeover: Home edition (not surprisingly on the same network). Instead of helping one family, the participants of this game show helped make major positive life altering changes in these recipients lives. The cool thing is these contestants think there playing for nothing!! When in reality, Oprah is going to reward the winner with a million dollars!
I’m sure some of you think it may just be Hollywood bullshit and the type of programing that only tuggs on viewer’s heartstrings. But I for one am glad that someone is trying to make a difference with their influence over the public.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if these types of shows started to replace series like Survivor and Amazing race?
I have to quote Malaak Compton-Rock, Chris Rock’s wife and a judge on the show. “Service is the rent you pay for living”
I hope you can take a moment this week to make a difference in someone else’s life. I know I will be.
What ever it is your doing, I wish you all the best.
Cheers
Casey
