This is an evolving list of concepts and ideas to be utilized in the production of the Santa Libertas segments of the LeverMind Variety Show.


Intro

Santa Libertas, aka Freedom Santa, is a series of opinion shorts in development, featuring comedy, analysis, opinions, and reflections on culture, politics, society, and the destiny of humanity.

Jason Carswell would rather be behind the camera - but realizes it's simpler to just do it than to compel and organize others without focused passion to convey his messages. By embracing one of the most universally famous and beloved of bearded characters, Santa Claus, he can creatively and respectfully introduce regular folks worldwide to new easily digestible insights sprinkled with humour.

Developed and produced in and around Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

I played it as a 6 food garden gnome with giantism despite the leprechaun grandfather and Irish accent, who carries a deep grudge against all other lawn ornaments (illegals) and (migrants) garden decorations (ie. Easter Island heads, lighthouses, Buddhas, poorly made silhouettes, inaccurate creatures nature, the barn chique in general, etc.). I wore the red cone hat, beard, a name tag, and everything. Primed for LeverMind. It's difficult and slow to develop a professional show in one's spare time by one's self, especially amid endless hurdles. But optimism and tenacity should eventually yield results." ~ JC in chat on GoatMatrix.net]
