Greg Hawco takes EXIT ZERO.
by

on Sat 07 Aug 2010 10:00 AM NDT
 Greg Hawco is a musician and composer from Newfoundland who now lives in Toronto like so many other Newfoundlanders. When we think of Newfoundlanders migrating for work we usually just think of trades people headed to Alberta but at this years Sound Symposium it didn't take much research to see how many great musicians and artists Newfoundland has given Canada and the world. Sound Symposium is where we cornered Hawco and told him about our documentary film, Exit Zero, currently in production. He was premiering a piece at Petro Canada Hall and graciously agreed to compose the score for our film.You can find his work on Republic of Doyle which is currently shooting its second season on the streets of St. John's.

 BBC TV
ARE LOOKING FOR A ROLE
MODEL CANADIAN FAMILY ON THE
ISLAND OF NEWFOUNDLAND
Following the
huge success of the first and second series, the BBC is looking for role model
families to take part in a third series of programmes on parenting. In each
one-hour programme, two British teenagers will be sent to live with a family
abroad, to experience life in their country under their rules. The BBC is filming
all over the world, and has sent overindulged teenagers from the UK to live
with families in various places including Jamaica, India, The USA and South
Africa. In this series we want to send two British
teenagers to the Island of Newfoundland. We are
looking for a loving family (with children aged 13-18) that has a close family
structure, and rules and boundaries that are respected. We are looking for
parents who are proud of their strong parenting and family values, and who
would be willing to accommodate two British teens for one week and instil in
them the values and morality they demand of their own children. The British
teens will be expected to attend school and/or church, to complete homework and
help with household chores and/or the family business - they will not be guests
in the house but new members of the family.
They will be expected to engage in volunteer and community activities
during their stay. Host families will be
paid 1000 USD to cover expenses during the teens stay. The production team will work closely with
host family and host school to make the arrangements for the week’s filming. Twenty Twenty Television is one of the UK’s leading
independent production companies with a reputation for producing intelligent
and award-winning programmes. www.twentytwenty.tv If you are proud of your strong parenting and family
values then please get in touch with us for more information about the series.
Email a brief description of your family and all your contact information to annabrent@twentytwenty.tv or call Anna
Brent in London on +44 (0)207 424 7712 and we will call you straight back. TO BE FILMED AT THE END OF AUGUST Wednesday, June 2

The art of oil

 Last week OIL, a photographic exhibition by Edward Burtynsky opened at The Rooms. In my opinion, this is the best photography exhibit ever put on display at The Rooms and I encourage you to go see it. His work spans more than 10 years and looks at a broad scope of the oil industry and its attendant industrialization. My favourite is his photographs of the ship breaker in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Mr. Burtynsky's large prints are a pleasure to view after becoming accustomed to the small mediums of print and now online. CBC Online producer Kathryn King has put together a feature at CBC-NL about the exhibit with some of Mr. Burtynsky's photos, an interview by Weekend AM's Angela Antle and she was kind enough to recognize my work in the Newfoundland offshore oil industry by including a gallery of my photos with my perspective of Newfoundland's fledgling oil industry. I'm not sure what Mr. Burntynsky would think of having his work along side mine but I was honoured to be asked to contribute to the online feature. I'm told Mr. Burtynsky tried to get offshore ...but no luck. Wednesday, May 12
