Jar Audio is excited to launch a new YA fiction podcast, Handsome Molly.
The podcast is based on the novel Restoring Harmony by Victoria-based YA fiction writer Joëlle Anthony. “Having my book turned into a dramatic podcast is like breathing new life into something I love, and giving it another dimension. It’s so exciting to hear the characters come right off the page and have a literal voice,” says Anthony.
The story, a dystopian near-future adventure set on Canada’s west coast, was adapted by The Chop Theatre, and re-worked for audio by Jar Audio.
“What’s really interesting is that when Joëlle wrote this novel over 10 years ago – some of this dystopian stuff seemed far-fetched. Now we recognize it. And teens, especially, are acutely aware of it,” says Jar Audio’s Cco Jen Moss.
The story world is much like our own – only worse. Climate disaster, economic collapse,...

Inspired by the classic cult film How to Get Ahead in Advertising, that episode of The Office where Dwight kills Angela’s cat, and several skits their employees once wrote at summer camp, Jar Audio is at long last putting their considerable creative mojo where their mouth is… or maybe not exactly where their mouth is, because who knows where their mouth has been… but you get the picture.
The Vancouver-based branded podcasting company, started by former CBC journalist Jen Moss and Advertising veteran Roger Nairn is announcing the June 8th launch of How to Get Ahead in Podcasting, supposedly a “tell-all” about the branded podcast industry. In fact, the show is part audio advice column and part sketch comedy.
Chief Creative Officer Jen Moss says, “it will fill your head with all kinds of nonsense that you should probably ignore. Think of it as the first Canadian mockumentary about...

From my experience, horror films are always the most interesting but least attended films at smaller film festivals as festival audiences seem to be more interested in stories about losing your virginity than werewolves and zombies. However, two venues in Telluride, Colorado hope to serve that small group of dedicated art-house horror fans with three days of horror films from around the world at the 3rd annual Telluride Horror Show.
Below is the list of films scheduled to screen at the Telluride Horror Show, which takes place on October 12, 13, and 14, 2012.
The 3rd annual Telluride Horror Show is a 3-day “genre fans will experience the latest horror films from all over the world in Telluride’s historic Sheridan Opera House and Nugget Theatre.

With a filmmaking dream in mind and horror in her heart, in 2010 Jen Moss established UK production house Not So Lovely Films alongside fellow horror lovers Ailsa Scott and Catriona Scott.
The trio met at the UK’s biggest horror film festival - FrightFest - several years before where the ladies discovered they shared a mutual love for all things horror; based on that mutual admiration for the horrific, the trio decided to combine their creative knowledge and talents (having come from varying backgrounds in the music, film and television industries) to fund and produce writer/director Moss’ first short film Dumped.
Now Moss and Not So Lovely Films are back with their delightfully demented second short The Morning After, which stars musician Kate Nash as Angel, a recovering addict of sorts who hilariously struggles to live two very separate lives in order to fulfill both her parents' high expectations...
