From short film to television series
In 2003, Canada’s Craig David Wallace directed a short film called Todd and the Book of Pure Evil. With co-writer Max Reid, he spun a tale of a headbanger who seeks dating advice from the devil and unleashes hell on earth to get the cheerleader he loves.
Wallace is getting an opportunity to expand this short film into a television series for Canada’s Space. Steve Arbuckle, who played Todd in the short, is replaced by Alex House and Frantic Films is shepherding the series. David Winning (Stargate: Atlantis, Friday the 13th: The Series) we’re told is directing a few episodes.
Shooting has begun in Winnipeg. Maggie Castle, Billy Turnbull, Melanie Leishman and Chris Leavins co-star.
