On February 27, 2011 a panel discussion was held at Podcamp Toronto 2011, #PCTO2011, with a focus on developing community, building brand, and marketing your product online, and lessons learned from making a webseries. The panelists included a variety of Toronto-based webseries creators, directors, writers, actors, producers.
Elize Morgan, the creator of the upcoming webseries Pretty in Geek got the ball rolling, signing up or Podcamp 2011 early. She invited fellow Toronto creators to join her, including Out With Dad series creator Jason Leaver and other webseries creators, writers, actors, producers: Ashton Catherwood of Microwave Porn, Jill Golick and Kerry Young of Ruby Skye PI and Courtney Wolfson, Christopher Guest and Scott Albert of Tights and Fights.
Each team of creators introduced their series accompanied with a clip, followed by an engaging Q&A discussion, until we were over-stayed our welcome in the lecture hall and had to leave!
Below you can a complete recording of the panel discussion, including the video clips screened.

Jason, thanks for sharing this…not only has it given me a few web series to watch, but the subject matter and the questions and answers were all fascinating insight into what goes on in the minds and lives of web shows. Poverty but happiness!
Hello, I am French and I do not speak English very well. I would like to know if it was possible to have the episodes of out with dad in French or subtitled? I would really like to see them and to understand a little better! You would be brilliant if it was possible! I do not know very well to whom to send to me! I hope that you will answer my request! Long live out with dad! Cassandra.
Hello Cassandra,
All of our episodes have French subtitles (thanks to the team at univers-l.com, a French website). We don’t add subtitles to extra features, like this one.
Thank you for watching!
