** [https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Justin_Trudeau Justin Trudeau] pejoratively called resistance to his [https://wikispooks.com/wiki/WEF WEF] tyranny the "fringe minority".

** Much speculation abounds whether "the fringe" are a minority or actually a majority.
 
−
** The fringe has embraced "fringe minority" label with pride and made it their own.
 
−
** Humanity across the globe respects the inspiring peaceful resistance movement of Canada, thus the use of "Maple" is universal, rather than limited to Canadians.

** [[Jason Carswell]] is already squatting on http://MapleFringe.com and related sites, originally intended to become a federated decentralized forum/chat instance of Movim, as an alternative to the technocracy surveillance, control, and exploitation platforms of Facebook/Messenger.  However, setting up such a platform securely with trusted admins is more difficult than one might imagine.  Fortunately, Jason's expertise is in media production, not social medial administration.

These initial concepts will be revised and evolve.  Despite the lack of series production experience, with robust professional experience in animation, live-action art direction, and event production, a first effort presented here begins the organizing, development, and production process.

Listed below are over two dozen critical themes, with the endless potential of countless other problematic issues in need of mass awareness.  Further, there's no end to the combinations, intermixing, and overlapping of those topics affecting humanity.  (Akin to how musical genres can overlap in unexpected fusions.)  A lack of content is not a problem - focus is.

An accurate, reasonable budget and schedule will require consulting with experienced professionals. Nonetheless, this is just a foundational catalyst for discussion and development.  These initial guesstimates may be general averages, understanding learning curve and startup pace should improve, and some episodes may be easier than others - unless ambitions and complexities grow with experience.  Naturally, as in animation studios that produce television commercials, one project is starting, another is underway, and one is wrapping up - so I'd expect episode overlapping.  Especially if some stories and circumstances develop across months.

The only critically urgent demands will be for immediate production expenses, a pittance to live on, and transportation - however we must also prepare for a few wild cards that may come up.  Government overreach is a massive problem, and productions like this may face censorship, sabotage, or worse.  Unprecedented medical tyranny, unscientific lockdowns, and intentional economic collapse loom over every endeavour on Earth.  Leviathan corporations like Bell Media are problematically participants of the corporatocracy.  No matter how eager to be flexible for this opportunity, eroded trust remains hard won in this climate - so as much as offering delayed gratification might have once been viable in negotiating, the world has changed too much.  This may be a dilemma.

My first television series pitch

Full article: My first television series pitch

In the afternoon (2023-03-06), I (Jason Carswell) submitted my 3 pitches to their online submission form: https://TV1.Wufoo.com/forms/z1ln7v5g06fp9qe

That evening, a couple gentlemen from TV1 (subscription television owned by Bell Media (of Bell Canada)) visited the Windsor Media Center to present their production histories, explained how as television producers they are accepting series pitch submissions, and held five-minute personal face-to-face meetings with everyone who presented a series concept.

The producers explained that TV1 will:

  1. provide all the professional filmmaking gear required
  2. provide a modest budget
  3. sponsors are permitted, but not advertising
  4. broadcast the series on TV1 for 90 days
  5. after 90 days the series belongs 100% to the series creator(s)
  6. creators may share it elsewhere (YouTube, etc) but TV1 may not fund additional seasons absent TV1 promotion

They said they would return to Windsor in July, then November - and finally made it next July, 2024.

Logline

A logline (aka elevator pitch) is a one or two line plot summary:

Key Jangling (working title) is a reality-television documentary series that follows the workshop development and production of an original short animated video by autistic adult student Jarrod Osborne (and maybe other videos by more Essex County students) under the developmental supervision and tutelage of professional animator Jason Carswell, glimpsing some pros and cons to filmmaking in Windsor, Ontario, with community support.

Maple Fringe Majority, television series pitch

The Fringe Majority demands to be heard.
Full article: Maple Fringe Majority, television series pitch ~ by Jason Carswell, 2023

In the face-to-face with John Buffone (mentioned above), it was agreed that an authentic documentary format is preferable to dramatizations (and easier). Thus, I've focused on that premise and expanded it further in my Maple Fringe Majority, television series pitch.

Logline

The Maple Fringe Majority television series consists of reflections from diverse free-thinkers and truth-seekers from Windsor and Essex County who've formed freedom and prepper communities, sharing political analysis and critical insights on local, national, and global issues, while showing how to organize, take action, find alternatives, and spread solutions to improve our communities, region, Canada, and our planet Earth to better resist, survive, and thrive in the face of the undemocratic monopolistic tyrannical new world order threatening our freedoms and futures.

Based on The Rendezvous, an unpublished feature screenplay by Jason Carswell.

Logline

Respecting life, sacrifice, and a diamond treasure, The Rendezvous, a dramatic television series, centers around a fictional Black family's circumstances and drama across three generations working at a local historical roadhouse through three Windsor-Detroit intense events - rum-running of the 1920s, war-time riots of 1943, and the "peace"-time riots of 1967 in "Motown". Without being preachy or pedantic, issues like prejudice, domestic abuse, organized crime, fairness and ethics, personal autonomy, musical trends, and motor vehicles are fairly addressed and dramatized in evolving morals and culture across the decades.

Truth In Topics (working title), television series pitch

Truth In Advertising.
Full article: Truth In Topics, television series pitch ~ by Jason Carswell, 2023

Logline

Inspired by the Truth in Advertising short film by Tim Hamilton, this Truth In Topics (working title) satirical television comedy series critically deconstructs existing realities, conceptions, and misconceptions with a non-partisan deep understanding of the topics at hand. Similarly, the opening credits are inspired by Message From Our Sponsor by Jello Biafra. With initial concept approval, further initial development is required to intentionally deviate from these two inspirational references with suitably reworked variations to avoid potential copyright issues.
