| ‘Corner
Gas’ meets ‘Friends’ in ‘Ebb & Flow’,
a series about reinventing one’s self, pursuing your dreams
and making new friends, while learning the grand lessons of tolerance
and acceptance along the way. ‘Ebb & Flow’ follows Michael Anderson, a celebrity gossip magazine writer who has become tired with the uninspired, superficial content that he is forced to create. Leaving his job, he downsizes his lifestyle to chase his dream of writing a novel. This new life, within a small West Coast floathome community, offers him the chance to spend a year focusing on the research for his project. With a bevy of colorful marina residents, including Fillian the aquaphobic dog (always in a lifejacket), Raj, the soccer and cricket obsessed East Indian pub owner, and Graham, a divorce attorney living with his marriage counselor wife of 25 years Allison, ‘Ebb & Flow’ is a gem looking for a home. This series is constructed as a snapshot of the world as a whole. Often, countries that share borders will live in a perpetual state of conflict, despite similar lifestyles, cultures and lineages. In this regard, the Marina itself becomes its own character in ‘Ebb & Flow’ offering a glimpse of the global society, on a micro scale, by being continually at odds with the floathome communities on either side – 300ft upstream and 300ft downstream. |

| Trapped
within the confines of his diminutive cubicle, Harry Weiss explores
the building blocks of his mid-life crisis. Despite being labeled
early in his career as someone with huge potential, someone totally
unique, this office drone has yet to realize any such promise. He
has played his role in the grand scheme of society, exhausting all
of the extra-curricular distractions that modern life has to offer.
Still, he sits night after night, in the same grey cube, in the same
chair, at the same desk. It has cost him his dreams, his pride, and
quite possibly his marriage. As he sets out on the home stretch of
an undistinguished career, he has become the eroded shell of a man,
neatly packaged in a pressed shirt and tie.
Fate, it seems, has sold him one future while delivering one that is completely different. Looking through the last few years of his life, he finds that believing you are unique is very different from actually being unique. This epiphany leads to a final frustration. Harry has had enough. |
