Fresh Stoked about New Show2/11/2008Fresh surfing show Stoked to deliver wish fulfillment to landlocked tweens TORONTO – Fresh TV has been commissioned by Teletoon Canada to produce 26 half-hour episodes of the animated series, Stoked, a character-driven animated sitcom about six teens who come together one summer to work at a renowned beach resort on the coast of western Canada and spend their days off surfing the most epic waves in the country. According to Tom McGillis who co-created the series with Fresh TV partner Jennifer Pertsch, surfing represents a larger culture of freedom and self-expression - complete with its own language, music, fashion, art and codes of behaviour. “Surfing is the ultimate metaphor for the endless summer. Stoked combines action, music, humour and multiple plot lines to provide total wish fulfillment for landlocked tweens everywhere,” says McGillis. Aimed at 8 to 12 year olds, Stoked is scheduled to air on both the English and French TELETOON networks in 2009. Production is being handled by Elliott Animation, Fresh's production facility. A distribution partner has yet to be announced. |
