Behind the scenes of “Out with (Song and) Dance”

We were lucky enough to have Jess Morton, of The Press Pass, to put together this fantastic behind-the-scenes video of episode 3.06 “Out with (Song and) Dance”. Enjoy! Share! While you’re at it, check Jess’s pics from the premiere! Click the photo below to see the full...

Background Actors Needed for Season Three!
We’re in the middle of filming season 3 and it is coming along splendidly. We have a couple of days coming up where we’re shooting all the school scenes. We’ve secured a great location that looks exactly like a school – except there is one thing missing: students! We need a ton of people to fill the halls. We’re looking for non-union volunteer actors, both girls and guys, to appear as classmates of Rose, Kenny, Vanessa, Claire, Alicia and all the rest. So, if you...

Season Three Production, Block One (Jonathan’s Thoughts)
Posted by Actor Jonathan
I am on a plane to Los Angeles, to screen and promote Clutch (the web series I helm), and to help represent Out With Dad, which is also screening at the festival. I look out the window and see the mountains surrounding Denver. Looking at them makes me think of the last 3 days – the first shooting days for Out With Dad Season 3, which saw many of Nathan’s scenes at home find their way to camera. When I first heard that Will was leaving the show, I – like many of you I’m sure – was...

Season Three Writers’ Table Read, part II
Tonight we completed reading through the scripts for season three. There were lots of laughs, some tears shed too. As I expressed last time, the writers’ table read is a very important part of my writing process. I’ve had the good fortune to do this time and time again with my friend George Panayotou as moderator. There are a lot of writers out there who might benefit from his experience as moderator. I asked him to share his thoughts on how to run a good table reading session....

Season Three Writers’ Table Read, part I
Tonight I hosted a table reading of my third season scripts. All together, it is just over 130 pages. Five of us met, so that was a lot of paper! Hosting a writers’ table read has become a tradition for me. It’s a valuable step for me as a writer. It all began several years ago when my friend, George Panayotou, started hosting a writers’ group. That writers’ group was intended for short stories, but I asked if it would be okay to bring my short scripts. This was back...

A letter to my hypothetically LGBT child
This morning I read a wonderful and heartwarming article by John Kinnear called “Dear Hypothetically Gay Son“. It is inspired by the horrendous letter that floated about the internet a few weeks ago – a letter from a father disowning his son because he came out (read the letter and listen to a CBC interview with James, the recipient of the letter by clicking here). Although I’m not a father yet, this has made me realize that Out With Dad is my open letter to any...

WHEN IS THE NEXT EPISODE!?!?!?!!!
Without a doubt, the most common question we’re asked is: “when is the next episode?”. I like to share the date as soon as I know. This year, we’ve been aiming to release episodes on the first Thursday of every month. That means there should be one on June 7th? Right? Well… As you know, Out With Dad is a project that we have all been volunteering to make. That means when paying work comes up – we have to focus on that first. WHICH SUCKS. I had a feeling this...
