Cleverly titled "CFC sides with Satan" (Yup, that's gonna look great on a lot of search listings...) it outlines the twisted (oh, and groundbreaking!) shorts now underway, helmed by the man who should never, ever be referred to as "the other Den(n)is."
A series of five-minute shorts about mismatched roommates -- one of them, Old Nick himself -- has gone to camera at the Canadian Film Centre through its TV pilot program. My Pal, Satan by writer/creator Dennis Heaton features Rachel Wilson as a "fresh-faced Pollyanna" who happens to split her rent with the Devil, played by Jefferson Brown.
Their clashes range from mundane matters, such as toilet seat placement, to the cosmic.
Heaton (Fido, Blood Ties) also showruns, working with CFCers including producer Bryce Mitchell (For All the Marbles) and director Vivieno Caldinelli (Hotbox).
The six shorts are expected to be online at the CFC site, perhaps by spring, with hopes of snaring a broadcaster's attention.
Notice to fulminating fundies: Heaton is more than up for the job of Secular Paladin of truth, skepticism, and the frickin hilarious.

Does he ever write anything not precisely calibrated to seven decimal places to make me grin like a lunatic for the rest of the day?
No, seriously, I want to know.
