Based on Andrew Templeton's short script FUNNY BUSINESS, director Russell Bennett, actress/producer Gillian Bennett and Templeton pitched in front of the live Crazy8s jury on Saturday, January 29, 2011.
Based on a five-minute pitch, Vancouver's Crazy8s Film Festival selected the FUNNY BUSINESS team as one of 13 finalists. The team is now working on the script to submit to the jury on February 21. If chosen as one of the six winners, FUNNY BUSINESS will go to camera on March 28, with $800 and the support from Crazy8s, and be screened on April 9, 2011 at the Vogue Theatre.
To get to the live pitch stage, the Bennett's and Templeton had to apply with a five-minute video pitch. Their video pitch was chosen as the #1 pitch from a field of over 100 video pitches.
